Since November I have been watching this project and in particular the crew(s) walk the steel of the crown truss and now the roof.

At times I was concerned as their steps or position seemed precarious even though they were tethered.

Today at 5:05 P.M. 5b was carrying a piece of standard 4' X 8' or perhaps double that of blue, grey material.
The op was trying to position it, I thought, on the steel directly across from the live cam to add to the roof but was having difficulty maneuvering it successfully in position. There were three crew standing on the highest part of steel - if you took on step you are on the floor. It seemed like all three grabbed the piece angled
it down over the edge of the steel and the op lowered it to the floor, just like that easy peasy, done. Cool. But this was 130' up and they handled something that the op was having a problem with like a hot knife through butter.

The point of this post is to say and I have done this before but that again the crews are very brave souls and do great work along with the crane ops who as someone said earlier maneuver steel through what seem like mazes performing difficult things but making it seem easy and I as a Craniac and Roof Observer wanted to congratulate all of them on this historic project that I believe will be finished on schedule. Great work!!
