Quick update:

I was golfing most of the time the blue/grey thing was installed yesterday.  There is apparently some question regarding what it is.  I think it is the composite metal and this is the exterior surface of the new roof.

I thought I saw it getting built plank by plank, and saw workers carrying planks up the rather steep slope of the new roof, then install them.  But I didn’t take a lot of time to review things and I did not have a high res monitor to view the tape.  So I could be wrong.  There are reports there is a fabric involved.  Maybe there is and it is being used to protect the surface of the roof.  Or maybe they are using a fabric backing, then putting the composite metal over it.  Not sure.

For now. I think the first section of the hard shell is done.  If you divide the hard shell into sections by column and then by the beams that run parallel (or close to parallel) to the wall, there are 23 sections for each wall, or 96 sections in all.  So we are, or might be, 1/96th done with the hard shell exterior surface.  It took a long time to get this one done.  Pretty much all day.  I assume there will be a learning curve.  This was one of the biggest sections as well.  But even if you cut the time required by 2/3, we would be looking at more than 30 work days to get the hard shell section of the roof in place.  Hopefully the speed of installing this will really step up in the next few days.

And hopefully that crane they are building on Forestry will get finished today and start filing in the gap between the western and southern builds.  Looks like a perfect day for construction.  Perfect temps in the 70-75 range and low wind.
