    Default Bizibilder's Observatory



    Hi all i'm new to the forum today. I am currently building a roll off roof observatory - in fact converting it from a metal garden shed.

    Details of the build can be found at Bizibilder's Blog - I will update the link after my five posts!!

    "Bizibilder dot blogspot dot com" will get you there in the meantime!!
