Is the giant crawler crane going to be able to reach over to the far (west) side for the west side columns or is the crane going to be moved to the other side for that?

They are going to put a second crane on that side after they pour the plaza deck.
With these columns going up, the work on the north core will have to go into overdrive! If the rate is going to be one per day, would that mean the north core will have to raise to the same level as the south in 10(ish) days?

Is it just me or does this building look smaller than it should? I see this pictures when compared to the other buildings and wonder, is that just the elevator?

So you mean the core is small, but the building is exactully wider. I guess from what you are saying, they are working on the core first and the outer part later. Makes sense, if that is what you mean.
This was supposed to be a monument to New York's strength and determination, but instead it's turned into a monument to New York's government gridlock.
Looking at my notes, the time from the first South core jump to the fourth and last South core "concrete" core jump was 5 months plus 6 days. The interval time for the North core from first to fourth jump was 5 month minus 6 days or 12 days faster.
For the south core, it took 3 months and 10 days from the last core jump until they started erecting "core steel". If for the north core, the steel onset takes as long, we won't see north core steel until October 28th! Yeah, that seems like forever doesn't it? Maybe it will be faster.... because the south core "wait for the steel" was in the winter while now it is still summer.
If you look closely at the erecting steel (core steel) you can see a splice in the columns about 4 feet below the first beam. That is where the core steel was suposta begin.
In other words, there was suposta be another jump of the south core before core steel was erected. I guess things were not happening fast enough so they added 20 feet of columns and put it up ahead of when it was planed.
