I am definitely starting to see what you mean, man. Wow...

This issue with the San Antonio subforum has even come up in the Austin subforum. I LOVE Austin development, and have strong roots in Austin, but live in San Antonio and rarely venture into discussion here because of the strong feelings and small sensitivities.

I love discussion, discuss with me! lol if you feel someone is trying to fight you report them. Otherwise bring it on!

Anyway, more cement was poured over the weekend and the base is starting to fully take shape.

"Otherwise bring it on!" Please, no. Don't bring it on. I come here to discuss buildings, not to "bring it on." Anyway...

Thank you for letting us know that more cement was poured. Here's a screen shot from the webcam which also answers my earlier question about the dirt in the foundation. They're filling it in.

I meant bring on the discussion and critique, i love different opinions that i don't necessarily have. It opens my mind to new ideas.

After two full days of no work on site, they finally started late night cement pouring. I was wondering when they would start doing this. So, this is good.

Just a wild guess but based on the current rate, I'd say they have at least a month or so until they finish the foundation.

They work on the site Mon through Fri and even on some Saturdays. I prob spend way to much time just watching it on the webcam...

Interesting note there is a food truck that comes to the site everyday (around noon), it made me laugh to see all the guys at it at once (bunch of yellow vests).

They did a big ground floor pour today. All that green has been covered by lovely wet cement.

I don't think Photobucket is allowing people to hotlink photos for free anymore. Try using http://imgur.com/ - it's free, does let you hotlink, and gives you all of the link codes to post them to wherever you want. I've been using them for a few years now.
