Monday, some trench work was done at the construction site.  Unfortunately, it disturbed the north-south line marking that had been laid out last week.  So, it was back to the site after sunset on 3 February to redo the markings.  Today, the subcontractor began work!  Yippee!!!  The photo shows the building up and compacting of the dirt for the observatory area.

There is now a SkyShed POD retailer in Arizona!  It is Photon Instrument in Mesa.  For other retailers, visit the SkyShed POD web site and click the "Retailers" link on the left.
