It's fabulous, though a bit damp at the moment.
Very nice dome Iain but a query - why are the circular walls on a square slab and how do you seal the interior from rainwater ingress

Self built 8X8 Roll off. If I had the extra money at the time I built it, Scott would have gotten the call. Total cost for everything (electric, windows, tracks, rollers, conduit etc) minus the equipment was $2100 and a few weekends of work.

Thanks Jim!! I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. I wound up lifting the tracks for the roof an additonal 1/8th inch which allowed for a bit of wiggle room with the wood swelling and shrinking. It rolls so nice now my wife can open the roof for me when I'm at work and it's ready to go when I get home. Absolutely THE BEST thing I have done/purchased for this hobby of ours.
