They're in the process of fully cleaning all of the windows. The difference in hue between the glass panels is a build of dirt and dust on the windows from construction.

Does anyone know why they are painting the hub with rollers? I saw this the other day while I past by. The guy looked like he was barely moving his roller. It's no wonder it's taking forever to paint. I wonder why they aren't spray painting it. Is what we're seeing a base coat that needs to be painted by hand?

Perhaps it's a special epoxy coating that needs to be rolled. Does it really make a difference? It's likely the eggshell texture would be the same either way. At least with rolling they don't have to mess with the tedious process of rigging tarps to prevent overspray from going everywhere and raining down on the street.

The glass installation is probably going to take an additional 4 months to complete and bloat the budget an additional $50 million.
