There will be a small trap door which will open up from the story below, and this should give me a nice perch for browsing the night sky with a telescope. Eventually, I&#8217;d like to place a very small room with a dome on this landing, but I really need to keep in mind that this whole project started as a chicken coop, and that&#8217;s my primary objective. I&#8217;ll leave the landing as compatible to the extra plans as possible without adding additional construction until the rest of the building is complete. I&#8217;ve also constructed the landing in such a way as to allow it to be seamlessly covered over in case it&#8217;s later deemed necessary.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1702\" style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/import\/roof-frame.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1702\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1702\" title=\"Roof Frame as Seen from the Landing\" src=\"http:\/\/www.itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/import\/roof-frame.png\" alt=\"Roof Frame as Seen from the Landing\" width=\"540\" height=\"405\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1702\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Roof Frame as Seen from the Landing<\/p><\/div>\n<p>So here is the view from the top of the roof looking down through the second story.
