Hi all. I have been working hard on the observatory and it is getting pretty close to "ready" status. I still need to finish half of the metal roof panels and close in the gable ends. Then I can tack-weld the angle iron tracks in place and add the permanent steel support posts, but other than that it is essentially operational. I have been adding images to my website that show the progress. The newest images are now at the top of the page. Take a look if you have any interest. Comments are always welcome.
Cheers,
Tyler
