 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. |
 A few days later, the old fin tubes were boxed up. And here's some of the assembled science furniture. |
 Meanwhile, the roof hatches for science experiments were being installed. |
 One of the completed plugs installed, waiting for interior finish. |
 A view of the roof hatches from, well, the roof. |
 Last but not least, some roof receptacles. ARO is in the background in this mid-March photo. |
 Back downstairs, here's all the desks and other lab furniture ready to be assembled. |
 Jump to the end of winter, here's all the assembled furniture. |
 The area which would shortly become office space for Al Baker and the CUSP tech, in the process of getting cleaned out. |
 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. |
 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. |
