Might have found another issue. ___end___ Wed Feb 17 21:27:58 GMT 2016 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Wed Feb 17 21:30:48 GMT 2016 SGS Alignment complete GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Wed Feb 17 21:28:27 GMT 2016 As I rotated the dome ccw, towards our summer position, the dome stopped rotating. Turns out the dome was getting hung up on the bolts that they had used since this dome is about an inch small than the original. Rick and Adam cut the bolts and the dome runs smoothely all the way around in both directions. And the crinkling is gone. YEAH!!! ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Wed Feb 17 21:52:55 GMT 2016 The contractors have started putting in the insulation in the pspt computer area and will most likely start putting up the ceiling. The compressor for the nail gun is loud, so I advise bringing up ear plugs. ___end___ Wed Feb 17 21:59:00 GMT 2016 SGS Alignment complete Thu Feb 18 00:21:05 GMT 2016 SGS Alignment complete GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Thu Feb 18 02:22:30 GMT 2016 The contractors got the ceiling and part of the wall put up in the PSPT computer area. Tomorrow, they plan on finishing up that area and then moving into the PSPT dome area. ___end___ Thu Feb 18 02:24:21 GMT 2016 KCOR End Patrol
