Attempted to rough down YBM without fasteners of newly install conflats on BSC8 torqued
Apollo hung dozens of new feedthrough flanges on BSC8 today but did not torque any flange bolts (will continue tomorrow) -> John and I had hoped I could rough down the YBM with these new flanges only "cinched" tight in order to minimize the pump down time tomorrow and maximize the leak testing time this week but it proved to be a waste of time pumping and closing "wistling" leaks on a case by case basis. -> wrench access to many portions of many flanges is blocked by various obstacles (mostly the &!+~*ing platform).
