It has been pretty quiet the last couple of days.

Big focus on dismantling Walt, which appears done, or close to done.

I see a bunch of the electric blue platforms have been installed under the crown truss.  Most appear to have been installed on the south side of the crown truss.  I will speculate that perhaps that side might be where they initially focus construction of the new roof.

The blue platforms are pretty small.  I continue to think they will serve as a staging area to store cables, perhaps tools and other parts needed.  The crown truss is really sloped and exposed and I don't think you can leave anything on it and expect it to stay.

I am pretty sure they have been building ladders on the bigger grey platforms to make access to the top of the crown truss, where the cables that will support the roof will be attached to the crown truss.

It was reported that the next step is to removing the back stays and all the supporting cables that held the crown truss in place while it was being built.  I haven't seen any work started on that yet but maybe it is happened in a place I can't see.

I haven't seen much evidence of a build up of significant material for the roof yet.  Little in the way of trucks driving into the stadium loaded with material.  Little in the way of trucks driving up to the stadium looking to deliver material.

You can see cranes moving stuff around inside the stadium pretty regularly but I can't see what they are moving.  I think the actual building of the roof starts with those four cables that form the diamond.  Maybe they are staging those cables and getting that ready to go?

I hope Skylar is given something to do.  She looks depressed.  I am worried about her.
