Construction of Observatory Completed!!!

 

11-14-2004
Finally, the weather cut us some breaks the past few weeks, and the last bit of construction work at the observatory site has been done.  Waller Corporation has officially turned the building over to us.  The new AAAP Mingo Creek Park Observatory is finished!!!!!

The painting contractor (Knox) completed up all exterior and interior work, including the door trim and touch-up work.  The contractor did a good job, and the building looks really nice!
Thanks goes to AAAP member Chrissie Chojnicki for working closely with the painters on choosing the right quality of paint for our project.

Our primary construction contractor (Waller Corp) was able to spread and grade the topsoil around the building. They also extended the gravel road to the new parking area, and both has been covered with stone/slag and a fine gravel.
