The dome at Site #1 was lifted into place yesterday. The lift went well, although it started getting a bit scary at the end since the wind started picking up while we were setting the dome down. The dome fit into place fairly easily, and it was successfully bolted down onto the ring beam. We will level the dome and install the power tomorrow. Here are some photos.
