The the floor pockets and all the wall circuits are quickly finding their way out of the back boxes.  The scope of the demo is very large.  Most of the cable running through the conduits throughout the building is being pulled out and replaced.  There are segments that are being saved but for the most part in veins are being re-run.  The conduit that is existing is mostly being re-used and some additions being added in various areas where we just need more capacity.
I am looking forward to seeing how all of these new interfaces will be utilized. 
speaking of interfacing the weekly human interface happened this morning at 9 am.  You see here Kris and Ryan still working on those ETC drawings laying out all there notes with bright pens.  At least they are in different clothes then the pictures from yesterday.  (well maybe not ryan he still seems to be in black so it is harder to tell, but the time sheet did say he went home at 9:30 p)
This is Pat, our EHS Foreman.  He has been cramming the multitude of drawings into his head.  I think the only thing missing from his interface panel is the little blue LED indicator light that lets you know info in passing through.  If he had one i am sure it would be solid since i don't think he has gotten a mental break since he arrived on the job a week and half ago.  Since Ryan has had more time to think about how all these drawing work he has been able to help Pat with simple questions and where it all is.  
So Marty had a great way to move forward on the notes on the ETC shop drawings.  Instead of typing out a spread sheet that referenced each page just take the notes on the page and send that directly to ETC and then talk the the project manager while they look at all the notes.  Then there will be no flipping back and forth from notes files to drawing pages.   The drawing is marked up and will be passed around to all the note givers.  This way hopefully we will expedite the process of getting final approval of the ETC portion of this build.  Since many of the things they are making in there shop should be arriving on site 
Pictured here is Kris, Robert from Sparling and Greg from Candela.  I think they are crossing their arms because i am taking a picture.  While Kris gives and clarifies the notes on the page they will add theirs and then that whole packet will get sent to ETC.  

Marty is in the background keeping everyone in line and on task.  I have only been in a couple of meetings but already the "Stagecraft Meeting" has become a part of the folklore that surrounds this project.  Hopefully soon we will see their shop drawings.
