Yes I could tell in the first video at the other camera angle there was a large slope to the property. You do what you have to do. I'm sure you two will be glad to have the camper under cover. I was a little surprised, it didn't appear they had plastic around the lower walls for splatter during the pour? Maybe your concrete crew was better than the ones I have seen! Will you be able to have insulation in the roof since it is a rolling roof? I know your area gets hot in the summer and cold in the winter. I love watching the fast movement of the clouds behind the structure when the video is sped up, looks amazing.
I saw them put plastic for splatter on the front and side for the walk and apron, but not on the inside for the main floor. But it doesn’t seem to have any splatter. They did insulate both roofs.
What sort of building permits and code inspections regarding the building plans did you have to go through or did the builder take care of those issues? Amy Astro started an observatory and she had to keep resubmitting her building plans because the sliding roof design was unusual and they felt a garage door type track system wouldn’t work in windy conditions. After two episodes of her observatory build her RUclips channel content ends with no updates in over a year.
this builder is Amish and doesn’t handle the building permit process. So I did the building permit online. In our area, they prefer online submission. I had to attach my plans, which clearly indicate the observatory and the roll off roof. The building inspector gave the final inspection approval. He came for several inspections. Regarding the electric, my electrician did that permit separately. The final electrical inspection is still pending as the electric meter is getting hooked up today. I feel all roll of roofs involve some risks from storms due to the nature of their design and not being permanently attached. But I believe building standards and tolerances vary by state, city and county to a certain degree.
Making great progress. What are you doing for power? BTW, love the barn quilt star; there's one about a mile away from me that I use to align my finder scope.
Unsure which power you mean? If you mean power in the new observatory: I'm still waiting for the electric company to hook up the meter on the building as I had to have a new service installed for the building separately. If you mean power management for my telescope mount, I've been using a Pegasus Advanced Powerbox. I made that barn quilt some time back. It is made from wood and then hand painted. I made a 2nd one and only painted the solid background color. I'm still trying to think of a cool pattern to use that would be appropriate for the observatory building.
@@marksastrojourney Electricity to the building us what I meant. Of course, the Pegasus Powerbox is a strong choice for the management. I'll dig through some of my quilt block pattern books to see if anything screams observatory at me and let you know. Hundreds of star variants of course, yours looks like a simplified mariner's compass. It's a good one
The electricity to the building situation has me a little stumped. It's been almost 2 weeks since the inspector gave the go ahead for REMC to connect the meter/line. I called them to ask when it might be done. They said, it's not on the schedule yet and sent me to the voicemail of one of their engineers. But no call was returned to my message. I thought they'd be eager to hookup anything that would start making them money. I guess they don't have enough workers or they sent them all out of state to work on storm damage repair and have nobody to do local work. I doubt they'd be here more than 30-60 minutes. The line is already installed and just needs to be connected on both ends.

Great video Mark!!! Enjoyed watching the building process.
glad you enjoyed it Delores!
