We completed the crane work at Site #1 early this afternoon. This was the last site to be done, so we are now done with all of the lifting.

We plan to spend the afternoon moving two of our primary mirrors out of the 2m building so they can begin coating the other mirror. We expect all mirrors to be coated by the end of next week.

Ruben and his crew are back and they have been working to wrap up the enclosure construction. The main things they need to finish are the installations of the observing chamber doors and the exhaust fans. They finished work at Site #2 yesterday, and are working on Site #3 today.

Here are some photos from today.
