| The whole structure was pre-cut and pre-drilled in Karl Hamson's machine shop. The design was done on 3D software SketchUp. The plan was that everything would fit together like a Meccano Set, and it did. As a small boy I had received a Meccano Set one Christmas and had fun building a crane, and an excavator, etc. etc. Now I had just as much fun 65 years later to assemble this structure. |

| The Solar array consists of two parts, a 2-string array and a 3-string array. They are sightly offset due to the extremely uneven ground. The 2-string array is mostly done. |
