That is what the design called for.  Wish they all went in the same direction.  I guess this is a case where function beat form.

Wondering what color the PTFE fabric will be,  Hoping it ends up white, which would tie back to the old roof.  Hoping the color of the hard shell section of the roof is a little different though.  Maybe a light tan.  There is such a thing as too much white.

The initial color of the PTFE fabric is not necessarily what the final color will be.  With the old dome roof, the fabric started off quite off white; kind of a light tan.  After a couple of months in the sun, the sunlight bleached it to a pure white.  My understanding is that the new PTFE fabric is quite similar to the fabric used for the old roof, so I am assuming it will probably bleach white, or at less get significantly lighter over time.

Winds of over 15 MPH are forecast for Syracuse today.  The cranes are still all down.  Pretty sure they called off work today because of the wind.  That probably pushes the completion date for the framing of the roof out a day.  Looking at the forecast, Monday has winds of 13 MPH forecast and Wednesday is not much better at 12 MPH.  Hopefully they can work those days.  I think that is around the limit at which they can hang steel.

At the least, the wind is going to be a problem and slow things down on those days.

Looking like the framing might not get completed until the end of the week now.
