Delaying opening. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Thu Apr 07 02:26:37 GMT 2016 Contractors on site for punchlist work. Lots of painting, railing, chipped paint the dome, interior, etc. The dome/ctrl room passthough conduits were also installed (need some small amount of touch up paint tomrorrow. To accomplish this the wires were pulled out of the floor and have now been reinstalled in the conduit. Kcor and SGS appear to be back up and running :) Door closers and gasscuts also installed. Contractors also help me move the big box of the flow bench up to the building. That was a big one I was worried about. Bench stilll needs to be assembled at some point but at least we got the heavy box moved. The shipping container was cleaned up to be used for storage or whatever. Started migrating some of our equipment out of the NOAA building back up to the observatory. With some lessor used items going to the container since it is closer and easier then the observatory. Contractor will be up again tomorrow for touch up painting and haulling off some of the debris and remaining equipment. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Thu Apr 07 02:27:46 GMT 2016 Cirrus remained though out the day. Nice to have a lazy day with no "work" to do :) ___end___
