Gary, my plans are rolling (slowly) for a concrete pier. I was hoping you could tell me where you got the top plate assembly from on the lone pier on the right. Thanks, Marc

This place looks like a little slice of heaven. Gary any chance you have a close up of the roller system you used on the shed? I'm looking at putting in a pier and I wanted to put a roll away shed over it (much smaller scale, just enough to keep the mount weather tight. Thanks, Marc

Hi Charles, actually i have up to 10 scopes at a time....lol... the pier to the side is a friends, there is oanother directly in froint of the rolloff building and another on the opposite side of the POD.. the little "church" is a 60 amp service and there are also separate plug ins for portable scopes too

you're awesome! How often do you have three scopes running at once?
