Short version: We had a rogue rain storm, ARPSN-1 back online for testing purposes, and I am tired. (-;

Rogue Storm Coming that produced 2.61 inches of rain

The new shed is at a point where I can start testing for wind noise, etc. and heliplots will be uploaded.

The shed has not been sealed and there is no insulation.

Seismic data will be ON/OFF line until the shed is ready for the VolksMeter.

This is part of "new shed test one" with L15Bs - pictures later.

Current state of shed re-construction.

As usual, I kept making 'on-the-fly' adjustments during construction, which increased the time it took to get done, and used about ninety-eight percent (98%) of the old shed to rebuild the new shed. (fwiw) The original shed was built by a carpenter and was nailed together. All nails have been removed and the entire shed is screwed and bolted together (It can be disassembled and moved; except for the slab and new foundation).

On the day we had the 'rogue rain storm' (2.61 inches) I was trying to finish the roof and discovered the boards I had set aside, were too short and also needed one more piece of siding. These items should be delivered this afternoon and installed by tonight.

I managed to create a temporary roof and double tarp it (above picture) before the storm hit. ;-) I am proud to say the new seismic shed survived our first rain of the season.

I hooked up ARPSN-1 (L15B sensors) and sealed the remaining shed with odd pieces of lumber.

Heliplots are very much improved and it appears, in the end, this shed may work.

The wind only reached 9 MPH last night and there was no visible wind noise on the heliplots. I have not heard a helicopter yet, but will continue to listen. It appears the (what I call) "Geysers Hum" noise is now gone from the E/W channel.

200810.06 - 19:50 - The wood arrived at 17:56 and I spent the day cleaning up.

Seismic data will be off-line tomorrow while I install the roof and remaining front siding.

I am leaving the concrete set for an extra day, or two, and intend to finish the framework for installation tomorrow.
