No, no, I really do want advice. I have done enough DIY projects to learn that nothing ever works quite right the first time. I've listened to the earlier posters - added 2' to the ceiling height, and while I'm stuck with green roofing, I will insulate and vent. I am more than open to thoughts on flooring. I would rather not have volcanic grit gumming up my machinery, if that is the risk with the crusher dust. I have to say, it seems more like sand than dust (it arrived yesterday).
When I said "sheet of vinyl," I meant patterned flooring like for a kitchen. I've had some sitting on my damp cellar floor for four years without it molding up - any reason it would not do as well in an observatory shack? Or should I lay down the crusher dust and put pavers over it? Or just throw it out and go buy gravel? I am reluctant to pour concrete because there's a 50/50 chance I will move in the next year and I want to be able to put my 8x12 shed on a truck, and seed grass in the hole left behind. If I don't move, there's a chance I will buy a spare lot from my neighbor up the hill, and move the shack up there. So, I would prefer not to pour concrete. If the current site becomes permanent, I can always pour a pad right next to it and move it 10'.
