| 1340 | Checking tower for shorts again. At first there were no shorts but then it came back: Face5pin7 is shorted to the 4K stage of the tower. |
| | Take Tower into cleanroom, check on bench. Short comes and goes, not clear why. Poked a blade up behind Pin7 in case some metal bit was in there. Short is gone, can't seem to make it come back. |
| 1410 | Bring tower back into clean tent at fridge |
| 1455 | Raise tower and attach to MC can. Check for shorts along the way, didn't see any. Continuity check OK (except piezo inconclusive). |
| 1545 | Start installing 100mK shields and heatsinks |
| 1615 | Finish installing 100mK stage |
| 1730 | Finishing tower installation. SQUETs and interposer wires attached. Quick electrical check: at first saw short from phonon channels to chassis, pushed on SQUET at Face 5 a little and it went away. Everything else looks OK (didn't check piezo or LEDs) |
| 1740 | Finish attaching 4K heatsinks and attach bottom piece of IVC with indium o-ring |
| 1750 | Begin gently pumping IVC with Scroll Pump |
| | Tighten IVC bottom bolts several times |
| 1805 | IVC reaches 0.1 mbar, that's pretty fast. Switch to pumping IVC with Turbo Pump. |
