Original photo of back garden showing the two shed that came with the house. We decided to keep the larger one for storing stuff and the smaller one for the observatory. It's 8' x 6'.

Here's Dave Power helping out. Wouldn't have been able to construct it properly without him. Thanks Dave! Here he is after we removed the roof and started to strengthen up the walls.

Finally finished off the baseplate for the roof. This made the walls rock solid.

Here the truss was finished off and placed on the shed. The roll-off beams are now loosly in position.
