I think that section in the blue circle is gone? @sixohdieselrage

Yeah. I'm confused. They moved it. 

I am not sure what is going on right now but work as slowed to a crawl from what I can tell?

It looks like it's moving that backbone piece into position.

Edit:  Or maybe not.  I can't tell because of the darn glare.

It looks like it's right in front of the drop footer.

The backbone piece is in the air.  Here we go!

It looks to me like that might actually be the bottom of the drop that they are putting into place!

Is that the correct location? They have moved it all around that area lol

I have no idea what they're doing at this point.  That one piece has been moved three times already this morning.

So, after looking as the prints and seeing the clearance envelope on the track that goes under the first drop I would say that atleast one piece that goes under the drop be placed prior to the pull out section of the drop. Reason why is because once the drop is in they will be dealing with an extremely tight cleaning that would make placing the piece (EL107) difficult yet would not effect the placement of supports or track for the drop if this is placed first.

Annnd they've lowered the boom.  Maybe they're just moving track over there for the time being and not actually erecting today.

They are really just messing with us haha

I’m going to guess they are stopping for the day. 41 minutes ago the temp was already up to 85. It’s now showing 89. With a forecast high of 94. This is quite unusual for us for October. I’d say weather is having a negative effect at this point.

At some point you have to decide when the working conditions become inhospitable and inhumane. It’s not just the heat. The steel has to be expanding and getting very hot with time.

We may just have to wait a few days for the dry cold front to move through.

Fought the segment truck lol

I may be wrong, because they are out there doing stuff again with that backbone mount.

Cleo is on the move!

Whoops I meant found

I think they are moving that piece around to then just watch all of us respond to what we think they’re doing. If they only knew what the smallest movement down on the site does to this forum haha.

So should we expect to see Waldo?

So the construction crew is “trolling” us...? That’s a new one...

Concrete truck at transfer location behind the tree

They are messing with the track at the drop again. They brought over a fork lift.

This day and age it would not surprise me. Many people today don't know what it is like to have to work hard in any conditions. 

I'm excited to see them working during the winter. I rewatched some Amusement Insiders Yukon Striker construction videos and I love the ones where they are working during a snowfall.

You are aware these people will be working in the middle of the winter in freezing conditions right?

How did I completely miss that they are painting the buildings right now?  The building to the far right is having it's roof painted right now.  The building in the middle is nearly halfway painted.
