the crane the crane

is that a girder under walt seeing some movement?
Unfortunately since carhart moved the camera, that part of the yard is out of sight. I also keep seeing workers on the rim walking around but not near any of the attached spirals. Wondering if they are prepping things for the removal of the old cables.
 
walt only needs 1 more spiral to prep for the next girder on the west side. the east side will need 2 more spirals and then the 3rd to prep for another girder. So walt could be back to a 2 girder lead by tomorrow.
 
It's March 25 and the crew is at lunch
the weather is good no frozen snow on which to crunch

A good morning was had by all due to two girders set in place
by Walt and his cousin Skylar - this has turned into a race

I just counted spirals going counter clockwise all around
don't know for sure but the one Walt put up looks like 44
the number of which we all like the sound

It really is a fortunate thing for us Craniacs for what we see
going up is history we can tell our grandchildren about
as they play behind our backs.

It will be all too soon when this project is done – Walt the crews
gone but it will, I bet, be covered all over in the news

The New Dome Craniacs what fun and interesting times we've had
commenting, speculating, hypothesizing, prognosticating we spoke
about it all one to the other and for most of the time we've had a ball

We have become important in our own way even the construction company
reads our posts and responds to our wishes getting the camera back
the way we wanted - it almost seems they find our wants delicious

We have a long way to go fellow Cranicas - hopefully we'll all see the crew
get this huge project completed with the wind at their backs

For now I am going to the place I spend most of my time
watching something beautiful being created why it almost rhymes. :) ;)

Looks like another spiral east side is beginning to get lifted.

The vertical spiral put up yesterday and bridged to a girder today is an ‘arrowhead’ on a diagonal wall, so it requires diagonal spirals on both sides of it. This is the first of 2.

Waiting for a vertical spiral to show up on west side. That is the next thing should happen there. Hopefully the next one is on site in that storage area along Irving and it gets pulled out and fit with a collar this afternoon.

Another two girder day!

Maybe we’ll have a couple more and then we’ll be back to 0-girder days.
Oh no! :(
 
It looks like they’re skipping the one diagonal spiral and moving forward to the next section.
 
i think the east side is still gonna do 2 more spirals before going girdiall

but there is a shot at a back to back 2 girder day.

Didn't see a spiral in the group along Irving get fitted with a collar which is the next thing you mentioned that has to happen. Tomorrow morning spirals need to be addressed and placed.
