Today's the day we started the Obsy!

Started the shingles on the roof, got to the top and ran out of weather and light lol.

Great build and thread Mike and nice size too. Sure you can't fit another pier in there for dual independent operation (father and son!)?

Lol would love to but i don't think my better half would be best pleased if i disappear every night leaving her to bath and bed my boys and waking everyone up when i get home hehe. Will just have to save up myself for a better setup than my celestron 5se.

Nice work on the roofing.

[Mikyg]

Hi all, on sunday my brother and i got the roof finished and the front and back facia's on. we've decided to go with 18mm thick wood cladding instead of upvc and we are painting it sapling grean.

[Mikyg]

Just a quick update, we will be ordering the pvc cladding with wood grain and getting the decking down after that will post moor pics when i get stuff done.

Hey guys and girls, just a quick update. Over the past week ive been quite busy, i managed to get all the 1st fix electrics done and the majority of the cladding. We went with the colonial blue forstex cladding with wood grain and ive gotta say i love the colour.

My brother is finishing the insulation in the warm room and plastering it by Wednesday so should be busy second fixing the warm room at least.

Here's a few pics of the cladding.

The shingles were from wickes, nowhere else had these ones in stock. Did the job nicely :-)

The interior is coming on ok. We've first fix wired the lights and sockets aswell as putting new armoured cable with network cable and cables for the cctv and coxial for the tv so my mum can watch rubbish while my dad star gazes lol.

We've also plaster boarded the warm room and thats getting plastered tonight. Once thats done i can get it painted and fit thr sockets and switches.

Also just received a industrial 10 port usb hub for the pier. Will post some pics soon.

Thanks for the compliments guys its been a learning curve lol

Just a quick update, the warm room has been plastered and the walls painted, we've still got the ceiling to paint but that won't take long.

I've also second fixed the warm room and the pier as well as wired the new sub hub.

I don't know if u can tell but the lines on the wall are water marks creating a shadow on the wall lol

Today I got the light up in the warm room and wired the consumer unit and modem on the obey end ready for when I wire it in the house, can now get the cupboard finished.

[Mikyg]

The tube on the left goes to the pier and the tube on the right goes to the house. I've left the rope in so if I need to put extra cables in I can do.

Such an awesome build. All the mod cons and conveniences to ensure that every clear spell is taken advantage of. Absolutely fantastic, really inspiring. 

[Mikyg]

Wow thank you so much, It's been a long one lol.

Today I ply Lind some of the walls and finished the sockets finally lol, I also put two of the lights on the walls and one more left to fit.

We're also looking at some rubber matting for the scope room that's 15mm thick just in case of any dropped eye pieces.

The last job this week was to get the cctv installed and up and running which is all wired to the living room.

It's looking better now and can start to see the light at the end of the scope lol.
