The nearing end of my obsy build..

[b_fillmore]

Hello all! 

Well, my obsy build is nearing completion, after being in planning for 3 months and to date just over 2 months of building as and when I can find the time. I've stayed quiet up until now, as it's been a slightly ambitious project for someone with next to no DIY skills, and I wasn't sure whether it would ever see the light of day (or the dark of night, whatever). 

Now it's very close to completion I think I can safely say it has been successful, to the point of being done. Looking back I'd do a few things differently were I to do it again but the end result is pretty satisfying. 

I should add that one of the main criteria when building it was that my wife will appreciate the look of it when built. Didn't make my life easy. 

I need to also say thanks for everyone else who has gone before me, some of the threads on this forum were excellent in the planning stages and I certainly wouldn't have been able to get to where I have without everyone else's advice and pictures from past builds. 

Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Looks a really great build and I think you are under selling your DIY skills. I am surprised the roof came to such a weight but I guess the shingles are a heavy option, but they look very good. Looking forward to seeing the final pictures and reading how it works in practice.

Well done!

Thanks all. Had I known what an undertaking it was going to be I'm sure I would have done it differently!

Great job, and fits in well with the garden just to keep the other half happy! Be interested to see how it finishes

Quality build.

Fantastic build and end product, I understand what you mean about the amount of work (my build is New Obsy in Norfolk UK) and I went the dome route due to my illness. Even that has taken much more time than expected (albeit interspaced with hospital appointments) but again object achieved with a useable obsey; there is no way that I could have taken on this much work at this stage - very well done - now to fit it our which is nearly as  much work!!

Regards
