Hey Eightball. Could you get a picture today of this area that they were pouring on Saturday. I was told by them last week that the 1st columns are arriving today pending no rain delays.

Thanks bro! It looks like they are having a lunch gathering.

I took those photos around between 9:30 and 10am though

That smoke smelled bad, not sure exactly what they were doing.

I was by the site around 11. I smelled sulfur which is a dead giveaway that they were wielding. couldn't peek at the hole though since I was just walking by. Gonna stop by tomorrow morning and take pictures.

That would be cool to see the 1st floor deck up close.

I just want to thank Eightball and Tony26 for the photo updates.The core has jumped to the 27th floor now. The deck you see in the above pictures to the left of the core is part of the 1st floor that has been poured and is now being used for staging. Steel should start rising next week if nothing has changed.

SLJR · #**2240** Posted **Dec 19, 2014, 4:16 AM**

Wait till you see what the 28th floor has in store. Things at the core will be slowing down for a few weeks.
