Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 3464813, member: 27"] Quick update: I believe they have installed a large number of pieces of the corrugated grey metal pieces on the roof. Most were put on the far west edge of the roof, behind the tension ring and therefore cannot be seen from the Lawrinson camera. You can see at least three of them fairly clearly out in the open. They don't appear to have been attached lined up to the underlying steel. I am hoping they are there to support nicer metal panels like the ones [USER=5058]NJCuse97[/USER] referred to several posts above. But they don't even look to be parallel to each other. Here is a screen capture of where I am seeing the these things. Maybe they just put them up haphazardly to start and will align them properly later? [ATTACH type="full"]185386[/ATTACH] The gap between the east and north builds of the hard shell steel looks to have been bridged completely. I think those builds are now fully connected. Meanwhile, there is a 3 column gap between the west and south builds. That is surely going to be a priority soon. Given that the west crane has moved from the far north end of the western crane pad to the far south end a little while ago, I suspect it is going to go after this gap now. There is no steel to put up right now but I expect a big load will be dropped off shortly. It looks like there are similar 2 or 3 column gaps between the north and east builds and the east and south builds. It looks like the crane in the southeast corner will focus on filling the east-south gap (based on where it is positioned). It looks like the northwest and northeast cranes will focus on the north-east gap. So that gap is probably going to be the next to get bridged. If the arcs aren't done, they are really close to being done. One curious thing about the arcs: I saw one of them driven out of the dome on a flatbed late yesterday afternoon. It headed down Irving. Not sure what is going on there but I am thinking it could not be installed from inside the dome and it was determined it would be best to have one of the outside cranes do it instead. Look for that arc to pop up sometime soon. It looked big. I think the biggest ones are the ones that bridge across the vertical supports diagonally. Let's see if it gets installed from the outside today. [/QUOTE]
