So the timing tends to be down to their workload / schedules rather than directly impacted by the weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like we have a 5 day window now where that could be done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think there's a week or so of settled weather due so maybe they're taking advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotdash79 Posted April 16, 2024 Report Share Posted April 16, 2024 Looks like the pyramid stage canvas is being dropped off. Also it appears that some fields are getting a cut. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
