Sleep until 10 I've got nothing to lose.
In most cases, it is all in your perspective. Here, it is all my perspective.

The observatory is complete except for a few minor items. The roof rolls off very easy and quieter than I expected. The pier was a bit unusual but is very stable thanks to my welder friends (Marvin and Jackie.) Now I need lots of clear skies.
Progress on the building. I roughed in the wiring and now installing the roof opener. I'm using a gate opener turned on its side with the rack runninig down one side of the roof. I will put a video up when it is completed. I do not have electrical service to the building at this time.
When we moved here (SW Arkansas) a few years ago, we had a very thick thicket across the road that would be a good observatory site. So, after doing a lot of clearing (3 acres worth so far) I finally started the construction on a 12' x 12' roll off roof (ROR) building. Here are a few more photos of the current status.
