It sure looks like that with the connection between the north and east builds.  It looks finished and the crane in that corner has not moved this morning.

I think there might be a bit of work left to do between the north and east builds though.  I can see the northeast crane doing stuff.  It has been busy so far.  Though the glare is so severe I can't confirm it is putting steel up.  If it is not done, it is really close.

The new crane is also now up and about.  I will call it Crane 5 for now to make it easier to talk about it.

I think it has some steel to lift sitting on a flatbed on Forestry.  It looks like it took some work to get the base of the crane in place, as it is sitting near the middle of the Dome, where the hill is quite steep.

They might have to use flatbeds as storage for Crane 5...not sure it would be okay to place steel on the road itself.  We should see soon.

I don't know what the scoop is with the grey-blue surface being installed.  It looks like they have multiple layers of a tarp-like sheet stacked at the bottom of the section they are working on and pull up layer after layer, with each layer going further from the stack where they started.

If it was just a tarp though, it would slide down and slide towards the middle.  Something is giving it stability.  Something makes it stable enough they can immediately walk on it as they extend the covering.

Maybe there is a sheet attached to each layer, so what they are really doing to lining up the sheets against each other, with the tarp like cover helping to stabilize things?

Not sure but they can do a big area in a matter of minutes.  Then it appears that they spend a lot of time smoothing out the tarp-like covering, setting along the seams, getting it smooth and positioned just right.
