done digging…
Saturday, November 7th, 2009
the digging is done, and the forms are finished! Yipeee!
Next– a four inch layer of gravel in the bottom for drainage, then concrete. Finally, the observatory walls and dome will complete this months long project.
The image on the left shows the four foot deep “footer” surrounding the center plug for the pier.
The forms are masonite, and let me tell you, it is a bugger to wrestle.
(Soon, we will be astronomers that stare at Capricornus!)
