Everyone gets in on "the big lift", as the prefabricated floor of the warm room is moved into position
under the supervision of Chris Teron, our chief architect.

Having made such a big effort, people wanted to admire their handiwork
while watching Rick and Yves make the final adjustmens. IT FITS!

Chris (our architect) checks some framing - some architects can build, too!

Moving right along, the dome floor is in place.

A long view of the site

Some of the group thought we should quit with a radio telescope, which is immediately available.
(Inside joke)

The business end of that massive concrete column, about which the whole building revolves.
(Figuratively, of course)
