![Johnny G's home away from home Johnny G's home away from home](metcube2.jpg) At the beginning of the winter the partitions were set up for the met office, which would shortly move here from the dome science building.. |

But first...the partitions were pushed back so the fin tube heaters could be replaced. |
![rolling drawers rolling drawers](benches2.jpg) A few days later, the old fin tubes were boxed up. And here's some of the assembled science furniture. |
![cutting holes in the roof cutting holes in the roof](hatchframes2.jpg) Meanwhile, the roof hatches for science experiments were being installed. |
![plug it plug it](hatchdone2.jpg) One of the completed plugs installed, waiting for interior finish. |
![let the sun shine in let the sun shine in](roofhatches2.jpg) A view of the roof hatches from, well, the roof. |
![power for science power for science](roofhatchpower2.jpg) Last but not least, some roof receptacles. ARO is in the background in this mid-March photo. |
![putting it all together putting it all together](labfurniture2.jpg) Back downstairs, here's all the desks and other lab furniture ready to be assembled. |
![work stations work stations](sciencedesks2.jpg) Jump to the end of winter, here's all the assembled furniture. |
![Hi Al Hi Al](cleanout2.jpg) The area which would shortly become office space for Al Baker and the CUSP tech, in the process of getting cleaned out. |
![ride on ride on](mezzanineclean2.jpg) The mezzanine, all cleaned out. During the winter one of the exercise bikes had been temporarily moved up here from the old dome galley, and I spent a good many hours on it. |
![rack it up rack it up](scienceshelves2.jpg) On the first level below the science lab was this room designated "science storage," which got these shelves installed at the end of winter. Later used for food and drinks instead. |
