This past Wednesday I was able to get the observatory wall sections up with the new taller wall segements in place. I purposely did not connect all uprights in several areas so that I could have some play with the upper ring for final adjustments(ignore any outta plumb segments). I decided at this point that I would make a new ring for the dome rollers to sit on. The older ring is starting to deteoriate a little bit, and now is the best time to replace it. The new ring will be installed this coming Monday.
I was dealing with very hot weather again which has really slowed my progress. The walls going up really made my day. At this point in time I have to do one final level of the floor, position vertical uprights into proper positions, and replace upper ring assembly. Once this is done, I will move on to reinforcing walls, putting up the white aluminum siding and finishing off the slanted roof section. More work will take place this upcoming Monday and Tuesday. I am hoping doming may happen as soon as this coming Tuesday no later than Thursday. Pic below:
