That's a nice looking home Al, it gets a man thinking.

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.

Very nice Al,

I have a shed which I have been thinking of adapting as an observatory.
Must get back to it.

Michael.

Thanks for the comments folks!

Michael O'C - It took longer than I expected! Granted I built it on my own but it took a few weekends of solid work.

Seanie - The paint job was almost by accident. I'd ordered treated shiplap for the outside, but the supplier rang to say they had none, but would give me a tin of paint/preservative to treat it and that just happened to be a dark green colour! It looks well though.
