Page I.5: Swedish red color panel

Have your heard about the famous red color (Falu Rödfärg) that our old houses and still today in Sweden are painted with ? Well, I will used it on the observatory to let it fit in with the other red houses here.

Red panel and the door opening to the left. The red panel is a donation from my girlfriend :-)

The red panel and the weather protection. One red panel is 0.1 meter high so you get the proportions. At right the southern direction.

The backside and it's here the roof will slide down.

From the inside and a view out through the door, the door height is only 0.88 meter and 0.7 meter wide. To the right is the opening towards south. I'm not sure if I did it right here, should I had a plastic film inside of the panel to get a more dust controlled environment inside ? Or will it just give me humidity problems inside ?
