red dwalf Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 been out doing alittle more over the last few weeks while the weather has been nice and have do alittle more to the obsy build, especially the roof. firstly new wheels fitted to the roof, i was going to totally re due the roof but life is to short, it does work ok and the new wheels make it roll very well, the wheels are 2" poly something or other rather than the cheaper plastic wheels that just brake up over time. runners for the wheels have been attached to the top of the walls, these where the original ali runners but the new wheels are thicker so i`ve turned then over and now they act as guides for the new wheels. guttering and downpipe have been fixed. new shelving gone up at he back of the warm room and a set of draws at he bottom.

Guest Alienfox Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Looks excellent Rob, I do have a question, I see that you don't have any insulation in the Obs, is there a reason for this, or am I just being really stupid and missing something?

red dwalf Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 well i can`t believe that my Observatory has been up for 3 years now, time does fly, anyway i thought i would give the old gal a lick of paint today and a few update pictures showing the warm room and equipment, the warm room is lovely, a bit small but as i`m the only one in there 99% of the time it`s perfect for me. i`ve been given 20 meters of armoured cable today so will be running a permanent electricity supply into it very soon. +Bino-viewer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
