Yesterday, Saturday, I put the plywood in the gable ends and on the roof.
That left me with the overwhelming desire to temp out the roof beams and roll the roof.
  
Wow. Was that scary! Could you imagine if it fell!
Its a very windy day which is only making me more nervous about rolling it, but there it is. A roof that rolls.
So much more to do!

How do you plan on heating the observatory? I just ordered a Heater Buddy for the trailer since it is ventless. They may also work great in your building.

Thanks guys. Words of encouragement are appreciated. It is getting there.
As far as heat Bert, I do not plan to heat. My house is 20 or 30 feet away and I will connect to my office via an empty conduit.
