Morning update:

Crane 5b is alive and is finishing up installing a border girder in the SW gap.  First work done shrinking that gap in weeks.  Nice.

A new little white crane has arrived on the western crane pad.  I am guessing it will focus on getting materials to the crew installing the roof. taking some of the workload off the red crane that is also in tis area.

The crew appears to be a lot more comfortable installing the hard roof now.  Sections that took days are taking a couple of hours now.

If you are keeping track at home, I believe there are 96 sections in the hard shell section of the roof.  We have 6 completed in the SW corner and maybe as many as 6 more in the NW corner.  It looks like they at least have the light tan final insulation layer down over there.

I am thinking their goal is probably to complete the hard shell part first, then focus on the PTFE part.  They are in the middle of week 4 of a 6 week project.  Thinking they need to finish the hard shell in the next week or so, and reserve about a week to get the PTFE section done.

I am thinking that will be relatively easy.  Pretty sure there is just a single layer of PTFE to install.  Right now it looks like installation will start on the south side of the dome, where a safety net is already in place.

Looks like we are going to have an all white roof again.  Just a little different shape and much different structure and functionality.
