Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 3462257, member: 27"] Morning update: Things are getting interesting as cranes switch the builds they are working on. The west crane started off building a triangle directly in front of it in the middle of the west wall. It has since worked south and east, installing steel further and further away from it until it finally stopped with the last section of column 6. It started installing steel going the other way now, and has a triangle up and one of those big girders they are using only for the diamond that forms the border between the hard shell and PTFE sections of the roof. You can see another of the big roof border girders up on a truck bed in the western storage area. My guess is that it will be used to finish off section 6, if the western crane can place it there. I am seeing the crews start to preassemble adjacent smaller girders together so the crane can bring 2 pieces up at the same time. They are getting better at this as they go along. I got a screen capture you can see belong (along with that big border girder that I think is going to top off section 6 of the western build). Lots of steel in the western storage area. Looks like the west crane will mostly be building north now. The crane in the northwestern corner is continuing to build south, which makes me think the north build and west build will be the first two to connect. For now anyway, it looks like the crane to the northeast is on its own continuing to work on the eastern build, continuing to head north and now mostly west. Likewise, it looks like the crane in the southeast corner will continue to work on the southern build, finishing the southeast corner and heading north to meet up with the eastern build. But the crane in the southeast corner might at some point need to finish up the western build so it connects to the southern build. It looks like that will fall to it. I am guessing that will be the last section completed. The western crane can't be positioned at the corner, which would be the ideal place for it, and the southwest corner is where the ground is furthest from the roof, so it is a tough place to hang steel.
