RE: [APML] Pouring a 9 foot pier

["Chris Schur" <cschur@cybertrails.com>]

Bert, looks like ill model it after my current observatory in Payson, with a
metal roof for sliding off the snow load we get.  Im going to split it
somehow in the middle, and both halves will roll opposite ways.  But which
ways?

Yup; that's definitely what I would call a cloud scraper!
Looking real good, now you just have to add a bit of
flooring and some walls. What kind of roof are you going
to use?
