February 3 - some photos of the demolition activities now underway - Green Pro on the job. A number of workers are present in different areas of the site. Some comments:
1. Green Pro Demolition has signage up in a number of locations - here is one on Wellington Street, behind the Globe and Mail print shop building
2. Looks like Asbestos abatement is going to be required before at least some of the old Globe building comes down - this trailer is for worker clean up and decontamination after a shift. Unfortunately, did not capture the door at the end of the trailer which had signage to the effect Clean Worker Exit Only (in other words, if you are coming off shift with your work clothes on USE THE OTHER DOOR).
3. Victoria building - last occupants have now moved out, and the building is fenced off for demolition
4. Demolition equipment - looks very brand new, like this is its first job
5. Another view of the demolition equipment - the unit on the right is being started (operator visible in the cab, with his back turned), about to to back to Wellington Street, to pick up its demolition claw attachment from the float truck which is waiting, blocking the eastbound lane (no photo of the float truck).
6. Interior demolition of the former Spin Master building top floor actively underway - tried to catch a load of debris coming down as it was being dumped - but my timing just was not good enough.
