Stick pins. This is just one example of them: https://www.pyroteknc.com/products/accessories/install-pins/ It's effectively like a pin that gets glued on to the surface to be insulated. The insulation gets pushed onto the protruding pin, and then a retention clip (the circles) get pressed onto...

Are all of the symbols being retained, or only those seven? It looks like the other ten are being replaced with a glazed wall? At a minimum, I'd want to see the remaining symbols reinstalled on the glazing (it might like neat from the inside!), or have them reincorporated in the lobby

Why would the historic church a block away from the intersection jump out at you as the perfect site when there's a surface parking lot right there at the corner? Are there any servicing issues at 15-19 Bloor W? It seems like that block is already generating tremendous demand on sewers and...

I think they went as orange as they could. From the inside looking out it's ok, but if it were any bolder it'd have been garish

I wonder how bad it'd really be to just move the house, again. Even if it was just a temporary shuffle. I'd still prefer to revisit the single-stop "City Hall" interchange to Line 1, but I'd rather disturb Campbell House to Osgoode Hall

Transit isn't even an option for many. Tons of them are coming in from out of the city, and transit services don't run early enough or frequent enough or reliably enough to get them in on time. Let alone the question of getting boots, extra clothes, and gear over there. Our transit system is...

There's not much of the original under there: From here.

It's four buildings, no? Isn't the completed one on Shuter also part of this?

I'm not installing those specific panels, but the panels generally have a hook or return on at least one side so that they kind of snap into place, and then for something that big they're additionally screwed as a backup. The panels and clips and tracks are aluminium, so no rust there. The...

The first three (from the left) look fine, it's the ones after that that don't look quite right. Those ones are hangers and don't tie into anything below The angle of the sloped piece at the top is also off, so it could also be when they push the bottom out it'll fix the angle and also bring it...

Actually looks to me like it's an elevation issue, and those frames just need to come up a tick. Could be wrong, though.

Nope, that's typical. Corner millions are usually a different, deeper, "mitred" extrusion. Regular 90s happen, too, but they're less popular because you end up with a big pillar in the corner

It's going to be removed and redone, but it'll happen later, when all the exterior work is done off the swingstages. That's just the mounting bracket, too. Finish panels to come. It'll look like that in the meantime though.

It doesn't look that bad, so far at least. The precast helps it relate to Main Square across the street, and the stepbacks give it a little visual interest. It's not going to win any design awards, but it's not an unreasonable imposition on Main and Danforth

The curtainwall starts on the second floor, partly because of the overhang and partly because the ground floor has those monster panes of glass. So the ground floor panels are mounted to the concrete and need to be thermally isolated, while the second floor panels are mounted to the curtainwall...

My first thought was that he was thinking OL, but he proceeded to give updates on the Crosstown, OL, Finch West, and B-D extension. I dunno. It seemed weird and unexpected. I only came into the thread to see if anything had been announced. I'm taking his update with a big grain of salt, but I...

Yeah, it doesn't sound right to me either, but "mobilizing" covers an awful lot of ground, and he could've well been talking about early works at that. "Mobilizing" is basically everything that starts happening the moment the contract is final. I'm well aware it hasn't gone to procurement, but...

For what it's worth, I was told the rebar contractors were expecting to start mobilizing early 2023, and structural steel was to be going by end of 2023. 8 stops on the extension. No clue if it's correct or if my source had his wires crossed, but he's generally solid on this stuff. I thought...

Not sure if it's panels all the way down or if they're going to have stone pedestals at the bottom of those columns, but they'd probably want to leave the bottom panels off until they're basically finishes the project. Otherwise they'd just get destroyed and need to be replaced anyway

What? Balcony guards are way, way, way lower standard finish. On what possible scale would you suggest they're a higher standard? I've installed high end railings and low end railings, and they're pretty much all crap.
