Wednesday 20th, very dark, wet and windy!

Yesterday's struggle to open and close the shutters proved my worst fears. The drawer slides cannot control the shutters unless firmly mounted. I hadn't managed that. The slides must remain parallel to each other. The upper boards and lower forms were loose. My thinking being that this would overcome any misalignment issues while I fiddled. It didn't. The top boards need brackets on the inner ribs to tie the boards to the shutters and to boards. The  lower forms need the same. 

Given today's foul weather, with a heavy rain warning, I shan't be doing much to the dome. This will give me time to carefully consider my next moves.
