Regina Construction IV

55 photos this morning.

At the Costco they are adding the diagonal tension rods along the ceiling. Nice shadow free lighting conditions. When I passed by there on the way home they were working on the building again.

I was taking some photos at the Queen City Distillery this morning while the exhibition was closed. Just before leaving I thought I should take a panorama.

At the demolition project they made a hole in the south side first floor big enough to get the mini excavator into the basement. They might do something similar on the north side breaking a hole in the second story wall to lift the mini up there.

Approaching the Costco I could see they did something on the north end of the building but couldn't tell what is was from the ground, but thought it might have been roof insulation. I couldn't make it out on the controller screen either. Looking at the photos it appears to be roof gutters and they may have stuck insulation under it because it might not be possible to do insulation after its installed. Putting some cross braces between some roof joists. This evening I flipped back and forth between yesterday and today's overhead and noticed they put up the rest of the 4th and 5th rows of steel in the lower left. Haze made for some nice sun beams around sunrise.

Still doing a lot of concrete block work at the fire station. I hadn't been to the Neville Drive 6 storey in a while, the long crane they had on site for much of the construction is gone. I managed to get most of the drone stuff finished before the wind picked up.

Took 3 videos this morning. Flying in places like the fire station is tricky as you need to be aware of poles, trees and other buildings.

At the data centre they are preassembling roof sections for the first building. They've been hauling dirt to the SE corner of the site for a week or so. Either filling in an area they robbed dirt from or making a stockpile. Empty trucks have also been coming in to haul out top soil from the massive pile just east of the site.

Putting up netting over the rest of the finished sections of the Costco. Maybe they'll start the roof this week. After flipping between today and yesterday's overhead shot I noticed they started digging out dirt from a gap in the front footer. They had the piles buried so they could drive in and out. Now they are pulling the dirt back so they can finish the front foundation wall.

Certainly in no hurry to finish the Grand Coulee truckstop, just slowly moving along.

Some paving behind the Costco building. Some metal added along the peak of the building, maybe the first of the roofing. Some more demolition at SW corner of the CBS building where there had been a metal stairway. Still putting up scaffolding at the bypass bridge.

The demolition project has me pondering re-buying a DJI Neo 1, the first drone I had. Safer to fly in tight spaces because the propeller guards allow it to bump into stuff without crashing, and usually survives crashes without damage. The Neo 1 is more abuse tolerant than the Neo 2. Though the low light performance is not great so there might not be much benefit being able to fly inside.

Neo 1 would be a good cheap back-up. I'll bet you could get a used one for very little $. I have one and like it, but I only use it a few time per year. I am thinking of attaching foam pontoons so I can use it over water more confidently.

All the used ones I saw on Marketplace were bundles. I made an offer on a controllerless 3 battery one that's been up for 2 months, but no dice. I went with plan A getting an Amazon warehouse deal on a used drone only single battery return.

I noticed they installed door frames at the Costco, but they were there in yesteday's photo as well. Expanding the parking lot area they are working on. Yesterday they started working on parking lot row end medians in the SW corner.

Knocked down some walls at the Agribition building. Digging deeper at the aquatic centre. Looks like they are building a wood wall / sturdy fence along 10th Ave at the aquatic site, holes drilled in the asphalt and panels going up. Starting to do basement columns at the Douglas Park Project. Still gutting the CBS building, didn't see much difference on the outside other than putting metal in dumpsters. Looking at the photos I see some second floor windows in the back broken out that weren't broken yesterday.
