Alaska main structure install complete !
Eventhough it was quite windy, (knocked over my tripod and broke my video camera) we managed to install the main structure in just two days ! The rest will be filling the the gaps with TIG welds. Next week we'll start with the surface panels, lights and ground forming. Still a lot to do but we are hopeful.
