I believe they are applying a fresh coat of paint to metal exterior portions of the dome. They are also repainting the ceilings of the house chamber, due to some peeling issues apparently... this in addition to other cleaning/repainting elsewhere. The exterior scaffolding is a bit unsightly but hopefully should not take terribly long to complete.
