Observatory Update: Breaking Ground! Excavation Complete!
After a very long effort, my observatory project is now getting under way! We have now broken ground! Over a period of two days, the Excavator did a great job in removing topsoil, creating a level building pad that was 3' larger than the observatory footprint, and laying a bed of compressed gravel!
This video attempts to show the work that went on over two days in just a few minutes!
Next, we will be boring holes for the posts and pier foundations, digging trenches to run the electrical, and creating the forms for pouring the concrete.
Stay tuned!
