Page IV.2: Floor

This is a small observatory and I want to use every space as efficient as possibly.

Here you can see the latches I have mounted on the sides of floor beams. It will make the floor to come in level with the floor beams or below.

Here is the first part of the floor in place. It's very easy to open the floor if I want to do some work under there. The motor that operate the big roof will be down there.

In the corners I have reinforced the building with the floor consisting of a triangle of plywood.

The floor in the corners are a bit higher then the center part of the floor. The telescope will never reach the corner so I can use the space for other equipment.
