Quick post regarding recent developments on the project:

It took a long time but they finally removed the big hunk of metal that all the cables tie to for the back stay over Gate B.  The metal that supported it is still there but I would guess it will be removed sometime today (it is already starting).

It looks like an involved process.  At one point, they used a tool that looked similar to the bendy metal thing, I think to get the back stay a little closer to the girders, so they could disconnect the cables.  If this one, and the one at the midpoint of the west wall are any indication, it is going to take weeks to get the rest of the back stays down.  Maybe they will get better at it over time?

You can occasionally see a crane on the dome floor lift a cable and move it.  It looks like they are laying out cables up on the 3rd level of the west wall right now.  We know they are in good shape on the north wall from what we can see from Lawrinson and that one picture that was posted.  Not sure about the other walls.  But they have spent a few days working on the west wall...I would think that side is done or close to done now.

I saw a tractor trailer back into the dome early yesterday that had a flatbed it was pulling (actually pushing).  The flatbed was covered with large squares stacked up on top of each other.  There were two sets of stacks.  Not sure what it was.  Maybe some of the material for the hard shell part of the new roof?
