Dangerous-Dave Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 My Mrs doesn't give a stuff providing I get the telescopes out of the conservatory. My main problem is having the DIY skill / money to build the pier and observatory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary1968 Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 Thanks for the replies folks, we (she) has decided that the 8" aircon duct wont do so I have to get something a bit less bulky, maybe 4 or 6" steel pipe instead. So, a wee rake round the workshop is required to find said pipe.A suitable ornament wiil have to be found and modded so that it can bolt onto the pier adaptor.Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinvek Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 how about an telescope? im sure it would make a wonderfull talkng point for any visitors that your partner may have. you could say its a sculpture in memeory of all those who have dedicated their lives to the study of the skies and then she could use it as your tombstone after she had finished putting her point of view across Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary1968 Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 Well, the summer house was delivered today, just gotta wait till the bloomin' rain stops to get it built. Blinky has foolishly agreed to help dig the hole and concrete the pier in so I'll be calling on him soon to get that done, cheers Craig.Pics to follow when completed.Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
