This shows the railing supports and wire for the safety rail. The wire is 1.0mm "Bosai" Anodized Aluminum wire.
This picture shows the roof just about completed. Missing a row and the cap pieces.
Here is the Front of the completed tower complete with unique weather vane.
This view shows the ladder to access the tower and tank.
This view shows the access hatch to the tank and the support for the ladder. The ladder is made form 12ga. electrical wire conductors solder together.
The tank measure 16' x 16' x 16'. That's 4096cu/ft. That equtes to ~30,600 imaginary gallons of water.
That's it for this project, except to put some waterproofer on / in it and wait for Spring.

SCGRR It came out looking very good! I figured it is about 19 inches tall. Is that right? I like your railing. (I never could have drilled your corner post holes). What did you use to make the ladder, it looks to scale. Excellent!
John,
The overall height is 24", excluding the "Weather Vane".
I made a fixture out of pine for the rail and rung spacing of the ladder. I took rough measurements off a ladder I have in the cellar so it is close to scale.
