This is the house I built in 1992. It's located in the middle of a working
cattle ranch. The nearest house at the time of construction was 8 miles.
Since that time, I have acquired two or three closer "neighbors," the
nearest now being about 6 miles.
There are no utilities at this location. Electrical power comes from solar panels and the occasional use of a generator. |

This is a view of the property and surrounding area from a nearby
mountain peak (about 3 miles distant).
The white roof of the house is visible at about the mid-point vertically, and 1/4 of the way in from the left of the photo. |

This photo shows the wind-screen under construction in early
November, 2002.
The roll-off roof observatory building is the white structure. The wind-screen is attached to the observatory building for bracing. |

Wind-screen completed.
Later modification made some of the upper plywood panels removable for viewing near the southern horizon. |
