It is a extends maybe 12 feet and is about 15 feet across. It appears to be secured at some point inside the shell of the building.

It is yellow and obviously temporary and has "Xena Deck" on the side. A web search doesn't shed any light. Anyone know what the purpose of this is?

Does that mean every reply has to be off topic?

What are your thoughts on spandex jumpsuits?
