Subject: pads & sheds..


Hi Milton, I`ve run into a couple of snags with the shed. My Father is being difficult about MORE electrical cables across the yard & the best site with respect to sky views & length of cables (were they to be dug in for instance?) appears to invade my (next eldest) brother`s personal space. Perhaps I`ll have to go with the simple pad tucked in amongst the bushes of the front garden (suggested by my Mother) & hope she can eventually be convinced the shed wouldn`t be an eyesore. The main problem with the cables to this site was the firewire ones which can probably be solved by the use of a long ethernet cable as you suggest! These cables would be removed when not connected to the scope. Anyway thanks for your help! Mark.
