It's been several months since my last update but I am just about ready to settle in the new obs. I have the inspector coming Monday for final walkthrough then its time to finish the interior. This weekend I hope to get the pier fabricated. (7'long -12" steel pipe )

Should be fully operational by the time those crisp and clear fall skies get here!

Mike,

What a great looking setup. My Home Dome is also nearly complete here in Northern Virginia. Please keep us updated during your final stage of construction.
