Summary of Hab operations: The front airlock door was left unsecured while the contractors were working and the window got blown out again. We will fix it before the crew arrives.

The new stairs are taking shape! Both of the ladders have been installed on the upper deck and the base of the new stairs is in place but not installed. The ladder sections and the lower stairs still need to be installed as well as the railing at the top of the stairs. The contractor expects the installation to be complete on Saturday but the polishing/painting will be done later.

I should be able to send photos tomorrow.
