  • It's like a ballet ... How long from pick-up to drop in place, in time? (I guess I could look at the time stamps, d'oh)

    — Margaret Hovell

  • Twenty minutes or so is my recollection, per beam. Very quick.

  • Oh man I would not want to be the guys in those lifts... that has bad idea written all over it. What if the crane operators mess up? Not sure their helmets will prevent much.

    — John Hovell

  • Well, at this point, the ends of the beam are overhanging the supports. Not much to land on, but something.

    — Catherine Hovell

  • Yeah, but what if one point of contact breaks, but not the other? Ugh. Seems to be breaking some fundamental rule of safety in my mind, but I guess that's why they pay those guys the big bucks.

    — John Hovell

  • I guess I'm not sure what all the safeties are that exist... Maybe it's just an accepted risk?
