I just want to add a comment, I don't think we will ever see a play by play description of progress, as we saw from Gary. The man put his heart in his work, & was kind enough to share it with us, not for advertisement to sell his skills, but to merely share his experience with those that were interested.
I'd certainly agree. Gary's dedication to reporting the story was phenomenal, even aside from his dedication to the actual work, as anyone who has tried to update such a report themselves will know. (If you don't, imaging photographing and writing up a prop change with oil all over everywhere...)
Then there was his candour over the screw-ups, backward steps, and issues; the diplomacy over the political issues behind the project (the kind we all know) and his incredible tact (online at least) to the sometime dingbat, offensive, stupid or accusatory remarks, and perennial positive feedback I think without fail to those who took an interest.
What a Gent.
He was also a d@mn good writer too.
Back on topic, I'd give an "Hon Mention" to Hot Stuff's team and 51 Fixer's trying to keep someone's feet on the ground...
