Fantastic! Looks like a nice couple of days weather wise. Got all your ducts in for stuff your running through the slab/footing? You will be back in 'business' soon.

When does the concrete arrive?

Congratulations! That is a massive piece of concrete. How long will it take to cure?

Cool video, watched the whole thing
...where were you puting the left over concrete with that wheel barrow?
So I take it that you felt that isolating the scope pier would not be necessary because the slab is so massive and you plan not to be in the dome while imaging...?
