Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 3479340, member: 27"] Morning update: As [USER=411]Geode[/USER] pointed out, there is a crew working 3rd shift at the dome these days. Captured them bringing in some of the new lights below. Besides putting in lighting, it looks like another crew is working the stands, pulling out all the wood that was pounded into the concrete to protect it from the cables. Crane 5 never put any steel up yesterday, but it looked like they did a lot of testing, putting the crane in similar positions it would be if it really was going to be used to start filling the gap in the hard shell steel. When they start moving the steel to Forestry Drive, we will know it has been pronounced good to go. The crew has already started moving north from the first 3 sections they worked on the last couple of days. At this point, it is still not clear exactly how the hard shell roof will be made. Pretty sure that white covering on the 3 sections that they have been working on so diligently recently is just a temporary cover and rigid paneling (composite metal?) will eventually find its way up top. But maybe it is done and the white cover was installed just to protect the surface from scratches. I don't pretend to know. But as [USER=469]CuseLegacy[/USER] has pointed out, the descriptions of the roof have consistently said it will feature rigid panels, and I question whether these panels they are throwing around are considered to be rigid. I guess it depends on how rigid your definition of rigid is. I don't believe the insulation installation process has been started on the northwest section of the build. It still at the grey-blue tarp phase. They have done a lot of that section with grey-blue tarp. I would assume they will be starting to do the insulation thing there soon. Still need to get the grey-blue tarp thing going on the east side of the stadium, which has fallen way behind. I still see some steel getting put up on that end by the cranes in the southeast and northeast corners. There are still a few sections in the northwest corner, closest to the Lawrinson camera, that have not had the grey-blue starting layer installed. Kind of weird they would push some sections so much further that others, but I am sure they have their reasons. My hope for today is that Crane 5 starts filling the gap, that the northwest corner gets completed, including installation of the white cover, and work starts on the insulation phase for the northeast corner. Hoping they start installing the roof on the east end of the stadium soon too, They can finish sections very quickly but the long gaps where nothing gets done make it seem unlikely we are going to see the whole hard shell done in the next 2.5 weeks. Hope they get some momentum going soon. [ATTACH type="full"]186369[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
