I see them finishing up connecting the wingees to vertical support cables attached to the dual cables that run from one side of the crown truss to the other.

The two white cranes are up now.  Not doing anything; just standing up.  Might be just to keep things lubricated.  I have seen them do this for the red crane in the northwest corner some but the west crane is not moving.

I have seen crews working on it.  Maybe they were applying lubricant and all is well with it.  Hope so.

I would think the north-south and east west cables will need to be installed before they start hanging steel.  It looks like they may have started on the north-south cable.  I can see something that looks like a cable attached to the midpoint of the north side of the cable truss.  Close up attached.

But I don't see it going all the way across (it might; there is a lot going on).  And I see no evidence of a cable going east-west (i.e. from lightning rod to lightning rod).

Looking at the Geiger drawing, I don't see an east-west cable.  Maybe they ditched that idea late.

Was thinking we might start seeing some steel appearing in storage areas around the dome.  So far, I have seen no evidence of this.  A reliable source says the date for starting on the roof proper is supposed to be July 20th.  If this is true, we should see some action on this front very soon.
