First Steps in the Dome's Assembly


The first panel goes onto the slab.

The first panel is being carried on to the foundation slab. The scaffolding we used to put up the panels has already been set up on the slab. Panels of insulation are under the orange tarp for later installation on the outer surface of the dome.


Preparing the bolts for assembly.

About 375 bolts, washers, and nuts were put together in preparation for assembly of the panels.
