Well not quite finished but I have the dome on the walls now!! The Octagon was a blast cutting out. The wife will be wanting a gazebo now.
So far the neighbors haven't complained. they are all cool with it, besides it's not an observatory- Its a playhouse
I installed the electric drives today and finished hooking up the shutter restraints, etc. All I have to do to the dome now is caulk the seams and I can then concentrate on completing the walls. They will be OSB clad with vinyl siding on the exterior.
I also have located some standard 12" pipe that I will be fabricating the two piece pier from. It was a gift.
I could've bought several roll-off structures for what I am going to have in this when its all said and done however tonight my back door neighbors were throwing a backyard party with floodlights, etc. yet from within the dome I could still see mag 5 stars-Oh yeah!
Here is the pic if it gives you any ideas. This was shot from a second story window in my house.
I am very impressed with TI and their products!
