The roof came with this thick book of instructions. But we had a carpenter and an electrician volunteering, so we figured it out.

Because we have a dome now, instead of a flat roof, the telescope sits a lot higher on its mount. They built a platform that surrounds the base so that it is the perfect height for students to look into it.

Another damned, thick, square book! Always scribble, scribble, scribble!

The roof was fully engulfed and eventually collapsed.

We started this morning at about 7 a.m. and by noon we'll be putting sheeting on the roof, starting to slide in doors and windows,
