Definitely!! Those piles of rebar by the OLM were huge. It’d be nice to see how big of a dent has been made in them. (I’d guess they’ve moved half of it but I bet I’m way overestimating)

Starbase live-
9:15am cdt- 11 more loads of rebar have been lifted over to the OLM since midnight. LR11000 still holding the deluge pipe in position to be welded.
Edit-
10:48am- Deluge pipe is moved to the side of the underground pipe bunker and laid down on the ground.
11:50am- 8 more bundles of rebar have been lifted over to the OLM. Some presumably extra bent pieces have been lifted away as well.
1:11pm- Deluge pipe raised again and moved back to join the pipe that goes underground.
5:00pm- Since noon there has been 15 more loads of rebar craned over to the OLM. Most loads appear to be multiple pieces but there are several large bent pieces that have been moved one at a time.
9:00pm- 10 more loads of rebar have been moved over. (44 for the day so far and 56 in the last 40 hours)
I was summoned out of my Christmas lair for an update. I see the cladding was already mentioned.
Starbase live- Yellow crane to the left of OLM has been lifting rebar over to the pit most of the day.
(I missed part of the morning but I’ve counted at least 12 loads so far)
Rover 2-
20:43 cdt- The large deluge pipe that we saw test fitted last night has now been painted white and is lifted back over to where the pipes go underground by the tanks.
If anyone is interested in the rebar, the guess is that it’s #11 or #14 gauge based on pictures that we’ve seen.
Which leaves me wondering if there’s a tie gun out there large enough or if these guys have to do it all by hand. (My quick search only shows guns capable of #8 and smaller)
