There is no way in the world I would ever do that job! Ack

Are the damaged windows left over from the storm last year? I was there just last week and the building looks like it is missing a few windows.

As far as I know, yes.

It's about time. I was a little surprised they were still around for Champs 2009.

The original windows are no longer manufactured, and even if they were they wouldn't have matched due to weathering. Thus, they decided to replace all the windows in the building.

NAK. You just have to trust in the engineering. If the building stays up, and the scaffold is held to the building, then the humans attached to the scaffold are not going anywhere.

I am somewhat fearful of heights. Yet my Ham Radio tower in the backyard is no problem. Why not? The "steel tree" isn't coming down and I'm clipped on to the tower at all times. Gotta have faith...

So this won't be completed when teams convene for the last Championship in Atlanta (for a while, at least). That's sad.
