Bubble Blog: More Parts / Helicopters
Big ol' delivery of sheave trains arrived this week. These things are impeccably engineered. Gorgeous!
Also in the staging lot is a bunch more lumber for the barn...
...and out by the work area, more of the same.
The guys are finishing up the bents for the barn

Lastly, we have some dates scheduled* to have the helicopter come fly in concrete and lift towers.
September 6 – Concrete for about 10 tower bases are scheduled to be flown in.
September 16 – Lift Towers scheduled to be flown in.
*PLEASE NOTE – these dates are TENTATIVE and the helicopter can be bumped for any number of reasons (high winds, construction delays, etc.) – so make sure to watch the bubble blog, our facebook and twitter. We will keep you posted with more details as we get them!

Hi! What company is doing the airlift of the towers? My father in law flew the S-64 for a very long time for both Sikorsky and Erickson, (retired now). Just curious.
Friday, September 16th. PERFECT. As DrJeff mentioned before, it coincides with the Make a Wish Golf Tournament at Mount Snow Golf Course. Tournament starts at 1:00. We should get some pre-golf activities in (and I expect my team to carry me as my handicap is bigger than the three of theirs added together) . . . maybe even multiplied!
exciting news. hope to be there for those two days. snow cant be too far behind. you all are doing a great job and we appreciate it. jim and sue tele till you drop!!
the progress is fabulous — so looking forward to the comfy – cozy ride to the summit — thank you for all the updates and hard work by your mtn op team!
hopefully the earthquake didnt knock down anything to valuable!
Maybe you could also post some images from the heli so we all can get a real good perspective of the job scope and locations.
In the menatime keep up the the great updates and outstanding work. Cannot wait to be up there is coming season
are the bents going to go up this week? thinking of coming to see it this weekend.
Is everyone ok in Wilmington and West Dover? The flood looks devastating. We hope everyone is all right.
With the hurricane damage has the date for the flying concrete changed? And the flying towers?

The guys from Poma were just able to get into town for the first time yesterday so we haven’t heard yet, but we’ll keep you updated on that for sure.
