      #2102061 - 01/06/08 10:08 PM Attachment (39 downloads)

Hi All. I want to build a roll off roof observatory in the roof of my garage...it has a second floor. Problem is I cant find any pictures of anything to show my husband.. he cant visualize what I'm trying to do.If anyone has suggestions or better ways to do a rolloff, PLEASE share them. I'd really love to do this come spring. Thanks in advance!
