Observatory Construction
As of January 2001, my observatory building was mostly
done. It took about nine months from conception to the
state shown here. I'd guess that would amount to
somewhere between 120 and 150 hours of actual
construction time.

Walls are framed
And up they go
Some siding
Walls and outriggers
Primed walls
An early snow
Wheel assemblies
Outriggers done

Roof is framed
It locks in place
A real roof now
Shingles and weather stripping
