Construction
The deck and pier were built in the spring of '05. The construction of the enclosure was begun in mid-fall of '05. I thought it would take 6 weeks but winter set in early and the project took 6 months! The octogonal area is 9 ft. flat to flat. Attached to the back is the control room area which is about 7x7 ft.
