We moved the V Bucks into the dome and started assembling them. It was a little tricky getting some of the bigger pieces through the airlock, essentially opening both doors at the same time and shoving them through. Just a little nerve wracking! Then we turned our attention to the portico cutout arches. Billy created some forms for the ProFoam team to foam against and they will leave a clean smooth edge for the cutouts. On Sunday we'll build the face archway that is on the front of the portico.
