Anyone know if they've started any steel work on the 2nd portion of the grandstand yet?

They will not start that until they have finished with the third base section first. They need to get the structure up so they can proceed with the next job on the critical path. This is probably exterior and interior walls. This will allow them to proceed with electrical, plumbing and mechanical rough in.

Once they finish with first base steel the tasks listed above on the third base line can move to the first base line. Think of it as a parade moving from third base line to first base line. The leader of the parade is the most critical task on the time line. Right now anything that holds up steel erection holds up the train. I think they will work this weekend as they lost at least a day this past week due to rain. Steel erection crews are a different breed. Cantankerous and boisterous at the same time. As long as you respect them they will respect you.

Gotcha. Thanks. I was out of state this week and didn't realize that it rained.

Good to see Lemoine taking care of business. They are solid

I'd guess about twice as high. It looks massive!!!

Steel erection crew working today Sunday

[Turbine]

There have been a truck load of stories and rumors swirling around the whole construction process but after a closer look I think it's actually 4 stories.

Are they erecting steel on the first base side yet, and if not why? Can they set steel in two different places at one time? One crew installing braces and floor section on the third base side and another crew installing the steel frame work on the first base side? Just trying to rush things I guess. Need to push........
