Ed;

I'm about to build something very similar and have a
couple of questions:

1) How thick is the concrete that you bolted your pier
to, and how did you do the bolting (what type of
bolts) ?

2) How do you secure the building so it doesn't bang
against the scope in windy/stormy weather ?

3) It looks like there is no structure over your
computer other than a plastic tarp ... is that correct
?

I imagine that weather is typically pretty mild in San
Diego so that might address two of my questions.

Thank you ....
