Will the TV cameras still be put at the top of the press box making for a different angle?

I'm not sure what people mean by 3 shifts, but these guys do not appear to be working late into the night, or even past 6 pm really.  Maybe they have subs working inside the project in smaller teams that I'm not seeing evidence of.  Running electrical or plumbing would probably be easier when there is less chaos around from the day time work.  But I have no idea. Maybe some of our resident project managers can chime in.

3 shifts x 8hr per shift = 24 hrs.  Basically, that would mean that you have workers of some critical sort working around the clock. 

At that point of construction, there isn't a large number of different trades competing for one space at one time.   I am sure that there are a bunch of ppl needing some other trade to get out of their way, but by finishing so that someone else can start.

Not to go all Skinny Benny here, but I did like it when Currie said the new lighting system will be twice as bright as the old one.   

That's pretty good news in my book, the old lighting system was pretty poor, even when they upgraded the fixtures to handle brighter bulbs a few years ago, it didn't improve it all that much.

I can assure people at there is still a large number of workers who quit at the end of the day.  Now maybe there are tradesmen working in various components on specific tasks, but its not on a large scale.  I'm really surprised since the majority of the structure isn't even enclosed, as we've all seen.

oh and skinben, confirmed the east light towers are coming down in may, matching lights attached to the top of the east addition  :excited:

also was told about 7 times that project is on schedule... so that means it's probably way off.
