nitpicking, but this is a pet peeve of mine:

concrete does not dry, it cures.

Yeah, and it also dries. "Curing" and "drying," while technically distinct phenomena, happen simultaneously. Maybe we'll throw in "set" just to spice things up.

Ever wonder why they call them "drying shrinkage cracks?"

Concrete doesn't cure, it hydrates

Has the tower rised above ground level as of yet?

Aleks · #**4034** Posted **Jan 2, 2009, 12:38 AM**

^Seems like it^

Can't wait to see this building by the end of Spring. I imagine the core will be a few 100 feet or so.

drew11 · #**4035** Posted **Jan 2, 2009, 1:09 AM**

Its becoming easier to visualize how everything will work together now that ground level has been reached in places. You can see the northern outline of the memorial falls, and the underground passageway separating the memorial from the Freedom Tower. The passageway and the memorial better defines the Freedom Tower's footprint, now I can't wait for some horizontal steel to be attached to the core and for the north core to catch up.

Is it just me or is progress going at a snails pace on this tower. Seems like the core was not much shorter than it is now more than a month ago.
