Dave's DiY observatory -Chapter 5

[centroid]

The turret was lifted into position, with the help of Roger (celescope) and my son.

It might useful to know that Roger works very well, if if supplied with Tea and Cake .

Having had his Tea and Cake, Roger gets back to work, as you can see in the picture below.

With the completed turret in place, the cladding was treated with Cuprinol preservative, to match the original obsy.

The original timber framework, that supported the roll-off-roof, was now surplus to requierements, and was removed

The next step was to move onto the warmroon Phase 2, enlarging it. This involved removing the existing warmroom extension (in one piece) from the obsy, laying a concrete slab for the base, and building on new section onto the existing warmroom structure.

The extended (lengthwise) warmroom (two sides, a back, and a roof), were lifted back into position, secured, and sealed to the obsy.
