Now they are lifting the center with posts, like a giant 40'x120' party tent.
Maybe it is just a staging area for equipment that will be heading into the Dome?

Is it an optical illusion or do those panels look more white than blue this morning?Agree, this doesn't make a lot of sense. On the Link Hall camera, looking at the tarp on the quad...it is huge.
It is folded at least in half and it looks like it might cover 1/2 the quad, maybe more.
Today, you can see some of the blue tarp (or whatever it is) that is already up on the roof.

It turns out it is a tent!
Never mind!
I think as they spread it out and there are less layers of it, it is getting lighter and lighter.Is it an optical illusion or do those panels look more white than blue this morning?
It looks like the tent they use on the quad for events. It was up last year for freshman move in and welcome.I was close on the size too. It's a really big tent. 40'X160'
Yes, this picture confirms that the grey-blue stuff is not just a tarp. There are panels underneath it. I do think there is a tarp on top if it. I am assuming it is there to protect it from scratches? Maybe to ensure it doesn't get wet? This picture appears to have been taken this morning. The one section you are see with panels is the only one in the section of the hard shell part of the roof that borders the PTFE section.That's a great shot, and clearly shows the three other sides are solidly connected. The covering DOES look ridged or corrugated a bit, but it's hard to really tell...
Looks like we'll be seeing a lot of the roof covered in the next week or so based on all the panels getting placed up there in this pic. The center section is much bigger than I thought it would be, love that.View attachment 185832
naughty pants at it again
Let's talk about the material they are putting up over the steel on the hard shell part of the roof.That's a great shot, and clearly shows the three other sides are solidly connected. The covering DOES look ridged or corrugated a bit, but it's hard to really tell...
I wonder if those pieces will fill in the gaps between the gray hard shell sections that have been put up? As of right now these are spaces where the beams are don't appear water tight.Sometimes I get the feeling this crew is messing with me.
In the last few minutes, some stuff has been brought up from the western storage area and placed on the first section that got the grey-blue treatment.
I don't know what it is. It looks kind of like shards of grey colored glass. I will bet they are metal but the shapes are very strange.
A bunch have been put up near the base of the section, pointing up, giving it the look of a grey tiger.
What in the world is going on?

This is why I don't think that that's the final roof covering. Maybe I'm wrong but that's my thought.I wonder if those pieces will fill in the gaps between the gray hard shell sections that have been put up? As of right now these are spaces where the beams are don't appear water tight.
Sounds plausible to me. I can't see them using anything but a composite panel, but I am open to being wrong.Let's talk about the material they are putting up over the steel on the hard shell part of the roof.
Is there any way it could be the final exterior surface? I think NJCuse97 suggested a composite metal solution like this from Centria (whose web site is finally working again):

Our Formawall Dimension Series Flat panel is available in many thicknesses, widths, and lengths. Contact CENTRIA for custom fabrication and complex projects!www.centria.com
Looks like you can get this one in widths of up to 40 inches. They have a length (height) of 16 inches for the smooth. That might be what they are going with based on what I can see.
It looks like there might be white insulation on the underside of these panels. And that tarp that are using to great pains to be sure the panels covered...why would they do that unless it was really important not to scratch the surface of the panels?
Sound plausible NJCuse97? What are your thoughts?
starting To really grow more and more on me when I drive past occasionally...pretty much dominates the skyline around the hill.My apologies if posted elsewhere...
Maybe it’s like the nazca art and they want to project symbols that can only be viewed from the heavens.giving it the look of a grey tiger.

We will protect this house....It's pretty obvious. Its to stop the enemy.
