The roof trusses are taking shape.
The roof trusses are done along with some less than conventional diagonal bracing.
Here the roof sheathing has been started. Glued and pinned. All wood is WRC. (You can also see holes in the platform to accept the railing posts later.)
The scale of this is 1/2". The tower dimensions are approximately; Tank = 16' x 16' x 16', platform is 28' x 28' and the framework to hold the tower up is 24' high. I took the dimensions from a "Northwestern" (Chicago Systems), Round water tank dwg just to get the scale of it. It's looking larger than I had envisioned, but I guess once it is out on the landscape it will be OK.

It is coming along very well. How tall will the finished tower be?
It will be 48',(24")from the ground to the very tip of the roof.
