Welcome back @Benito!

AoD

Benito missed u alot man. welcome back.

Thanks guys! Wish I could say that I was glad to be back, but the weather today is nasty.

Already miss the big hole... NOT. Glade to see this finally make it to grade more or less

 

[MetroMan]

I’m looking forward to this pour. The forms around the elevator shafts look to be about 3 feet tall which is about how far the bottom of the floor forms are from street level. We’ll officially be at grade after this pour.

If this snow persists, I don't think we're going anywhere for a while. The last time it snowed, all concrete pouring work stopped. Put my name in the hat for April 29, 2020 ?

Does anyone know how, or what, will plug the hole that the black crane tower now sits in? The elevator shafts are located at the western perimeter of the site. What will occupy the shaft that the crane tower now sits in?

 

[GabrielHurl]

The poured slabs around the opening are designed to allow an infill slab to be poured after the crane is removed.

 

[jozl]

Thanks GabrielHurl, I often wondered how those crane shafts were dealt with. I suppose, in a condo building, they could be converted into little elevator shafts for deliveries only. Or a really tall fire pole.

Or a really large garbage chute. you could dispose of a piano into.

I use my pianos only once. I could use that kind of garbage shoot.
