Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 3483959, member: 27"] Morning update: Crane 5b had a good weekend and the SW gap has almost been closed. Still some bars to play but the last big girder was put in place earlier this morning and the rest of the steel looks like it will be in place by the end of the day. A lot of good work was done on the east and north sides of the hard shell roof as well this weekend. It looks like many it is easier to install the corrugated steel and grey tarp than get the insulation and white exterior layer in place, as there are many sections that are past that phase but have not gone beyond. Surely a big issue here is that there is exposure when putting the insulation down. If it rains (or even is really windy), there could be big issues. As it happens, it did rain almost immediately after they started putting on insulation in the SW corner. They probably want to limit exposure and stay with one or two core crews to put the final touches on the remaining sections. I think I said earlier there are 96 sections in the hard shell. Based on what I can see (see the screen capture from Link), they are well over half done with the first layer. Looks like they have close to 1.5 of the 4 builds completely finished with the white final layer. I think this is the start of 5 week of the 6 week period allocated for building the roof. [ATTACH type="full"]186614[/ATTACH] I think that they added some mysterious white packages on top of the hard shell, near where it borders the yet to be started PTFE middle section. Not sure what they are. They look too big to be insulation boxes and I don't know why they would have insulation boxes here since they are done with that phase. So maybe this might be the first appearance of the PTFE material that will eventually used to cover the arcs? Now that they have part of the hard shell finished, they might want to get started on the PTFE section and work concurrently. [/QUOTE]
