I signed a contract last week with a local contractor to start construction of my backyard observatory. First step is having a simple gravel service road installed as well as trenching for electrical rough-in. I am planning to build a roll-off roof observatory, large enough to hold two piers and a small warming room. I plan to hold club events and public star parties at the observatory. I bought building plans from backyardobservatories.com. I am hoping to have enough money this year to have a 16ftx24ft concrete pad installed before winter. Here are some photos of the gravel service road and the gravel pad of the future observatory site.
