Does anyone know when they are doing the crane pick for the top of 621?

Next week I believe.

For everyone else who doe's not know what Nawlijispower is referring to,
they will be hoisting a crane truck up on top of 621CM to help place the
tower structure on the roof. The process to mount the towers structure
should take about two weeks. Seeing that truck on top of the tower will
be quite a sight

The truck might look something like this... +/- in size.

^Very cool, could somebody take some pictures when this happens?, I would appreciate it very much as I'm not around downtown during the day.

Fusey · #**864** Posted **Apr 12, 2007, 2:44 AM**

Whoa. That sounds like it'll be an impressive sight to see.

Sacto · #**865** Posted **Apr 12, 2007, 5:55 AM**

^ Yeah, I've never heard of or seen anything like this. Looking forward to it. Hope it doesn't fall.

A classic web-joke that never gets old. I love that one.

I'm keeping an eye out of my window for just such a happening! I'm bringing my camera to work every day now. In the meanwhile, here's some pics I took yesterday at 60+ mph at great personal risk to those driving around me!

Not sure that I've seen this angle of downtown. There are some sweet shots from the top of the Veterans Memorial Bridge that I wish I could figure out how to take safely of downtown...

Great pics! Is that cladding I see going up on the left (west) side of 621?

ltsmotorsport · #**870** Posted **Apr 12, 2007, 6:12 PM**

Yeah...check out the webcam.

clicky

goldcntry · #**871** Posted **Apr 12, 2007, 6:16 PM**

Good one. I almost believed it untill I got to the last paragraph.

We really have to thank the old residents of Sac for missing the East Coast and planting all the trees that make Sac a beautiful city today. SMUD's deserves a lot of credit for planting trees as well.

there was a hoist at the calpers site today, well i think it was a hoist atleast...

foxmtbr · #**877** Posted **Apr 13, 2007, 8:42 AM**

^ Was it doing anything or was it just sitting idly?

I don't know, but I'll get another look today when I head to work

innov8 · #**879** Posted **Apr 13, 2007, 11:09 PM**

^ I saw that too while I was looking down J Street yesterday. 800J has got it's first
tenent (and the smallest), there is an 'Eyes on J Street Optometry' several
weeks away from opening it's doors. I wonder if the price per square foot
is just too expensive or retailers just don't have faith in the 800J location yet?

Most of the space is taken from what I see on the leasing website
http://www.terranomics.com/TRWMC/detail.asp?id=U79120#

Fuzio (Place from Davis), Table 260, a bank, Wine place, the eye place, and Bella Bloom (I think this is the place www.bellabloom.com)

Looks like 3 spaces to go..
