Thanks pal hope your keeping well ,

NO I am going to have to take the roof back off/cut the dish in half.

Wouldn't it be easier to dig a trench in the floor and slide it out edge on??

 

[pontiend]

Thats a daft idea.Just fold it in half.

No chance of doing that Pete look at my early post metal poles concreted in all way round, I might take a part of the house wall out and take it that way

Panic over, I've just done some maths


I am 6ft 1 and I can walk through the door without touching my head on the top of it so all should be well to get it out

Up to now ive spent £1.200 another £800 should see it through to completion, looking at the prices of buying one, ive built a bargain

Yes Alex, but in the end I will be able to control it from any part of the house/around the world with an internet connection

That's a DIY price no foundations no one to help you put it up and thin walls compared to what mine will be, I will be adding a cavity wall, plus a 1.8

Yes I am fine thanks, your more than welcome to pop down pal, I wouldn't fall for a school boy error like that but thanks for the heads up, you only have to think logically, the dish is 1.8 at its smallest point, and a standard door is 1950

I've not had a beer for 7 weeks now but anyone is welcome to call if your ever passing and I will provide the beers

 

[sonnetpete]

and a standard door is 1950

as old as me then...

Thank you John, well if your are ever passing your more than welcome to pop in pal, i have a patio and a decking area to start and finish before i finish the mount, and still lots to do with this, but maybe a months time it should be up and running in a fashion.

Hi, nothing to update work wise on this project, but today I bought this used gas fire, it should look nice in there once its all finished.
