re: west panel not visible from webcam Sorry Miscman, but you can't see sh*t to be able say what's going on on the West side. I also don't see any reason why we should see a big crane on the roof for this kind of work. Once the grid is completed, it only takes a couple of weeks to stick on the Lumapanels.
Wait for that guy from Wired New York Forum, if he is serious about taking a picture.
