Sure, next time I'm downtown I'll see what I can do.

The front entrance is still boarded up, not much happening there.

As for the snow, it's a nice sloppy mess. lots more in the burbs than downtown, I've noticed!

Hey Guys, I passed by the site today. The kitchen cabinets for a second floor unit was already up. Unfortunately, it was too dark for me to take pictures. Bedroom doors were not on yet but this particular unit already had pendant lighting installed for the kitchen. I was looking from lisgar street. They also have a security guard posted there. He was looking at me funny while I stood on the street drinking my coffee and staring at the building. I couldn't really see if the cabinets for the third floor was up.

So hot.

AND, as an added bonus, it could be used in a cheap Ghostbusters remake:

Thanks for the shot harls. It's awesome! The pinnacle thing at the top of the building looks cool.

Can't wait to start BBQ-ing on the roof top.

I too love this building and that is one of the reasons I am moving to O-Town.
Vancouver is good, but Ottawa is way better. Nothing can top up the
Parliament building. Beautiful building, but strange people in it

Thanks Harls, I don't know what we would do without your great shots.
Makes me feel like I am there already. You will have a special place in all
HP l & HP ll owner's hearts, right guys???

The pinnacle looks like a little chapel. Nice contrast with the steeple.

Can't wait to see the 2nd tower rise into view from that same vantage point. How many floors is HP PhII at now?

Add another floor to that, I think. I'm going to check it out today at lunch, since things are moving so quickly.

Awesome harls, thanks again! Looks like the front entrance is taking shape, juding from the finishing of the canopy. Is that metal?

Looks like it.. the entrance isn't totally finished yet, won't be long.


The guy with the red Ranger must be a top-dog at Charlesfort - his truck is always there.

[QUOTE=harls;

You were right, another floor. Seems like those guys work faster when it's cold. Another bunch of great photos, thanks Harlas. You may get that BBQ invitation after all.
