Today, 15 April, was the deadline for objections from the eight other
homeowners in our little subdivision. No one objected; one gentleman
asked me to plant some (additional) leyland cypress trees at north edge
of my property. No problem. Another neighbor said that he would approve
provided that his wife, who has an interest in astronomy, were
permitted to come over from time to time to look through the
telescopes. Welcome!

The wood substructure for the Observa-Dome is all but complete, though
I don't yet have either of the concrete foundations (one for the
Astropier, isolated from the second foundation that will support the
observatory). Now that the objection deadline has passed it's time to
get serious about finding a concrete contractor. Latest pix are at
