Great intelligent response.

Ill let you google all night long to try to respond other than a lol, middle finger, stick it to the old man, or what ever.

Some people just don't want to learn. I have my teenagers that act like that.

That's not a compliment BTW.

You should not be proud of yourself. You contributed nothing in this said conversation other than pulling your pants down and … fill in the blank.

Don't worry about the plumbers, they can just cut holes where they need to and patch in anything damaged.

The issue is there is a big gap between testing the plumbing once or twice and having the pipes filled with water and breaking due to cold weather. How stupid do you think these guys are? You remind me of my friend who always goes on the extremes for debates.

Right through all of the electrify and HVAC like others have probably wanted to or slightly stated.

Well stated brother.

Now that is an intelligent, tactful, intelligent, and rather humorous response.

Anyone care to lol at him? Flip him the finger and lol at him?

Thank you LVDW.

I didn't think so. Good night already.

It's like if you combined two people's comments into the same one for all of his posts here. It's amazing. The back and forth inner dialogue is intriguing

Well, all this is quite interesting lol.

My understanding is that HVAC goes in first (then plumbers, and electricians last), since they need the open and unencumbered space to route their duct work, and since electrical and plumbing can literally go through a duct of at least a certain minimum size if no work around is possible.

If the building isn't closed up by the time the HVAC installers are done and the plumbers need to go in, and if for whatever reason its too cold for them to do their work, I'd imagine that they would either have the electricians skipping ahead of the plumbers, or the contractor would just stall the project until glass goes up or the weather warms up. That said, I'm not sure why the plumbers couldn't install pipes in freezing temps so long as they did not connect and turn on the water. I understand this would most likely delay dry walling until spring next year when the water systems can be tested, but this project is already delayed out the 🞵🞵🞵, so whats new?

Hey bnk, I appreciate the articles you post and your general positive outlook. Don't let the skyscraper bullies discourage you.

All the trades, except the window crews, are probably working according to plan. After the core is poured usually the utilities follow closely behind. This doesn't mean that wire is run to a individual outlet or light, but the systems in the individual units are just a relative small part of the total package. Drainage and vents can and often are run early on as they use gravity and don't have a lot of flexibility is where they can be placed. Pressure systems, like hot and cold water, if needed can be routed around and up and over if something is 'in the way', plus they are much smaller pipes and are intended to be run through and in the wall cavities. .

I'm just tickled that someone finally got KDM and Notyrview on the same page.

As for this project, it sounds like we can all agree that its bare structure is striking enough to warrant constant photography, which bodes well for our enjoyment of this unfortunate glass delay. Plus, I don't think any of us are under contract ...

gebs · #**4072** Posted **Jul 30, 2018, 2:39 PM**

I haven't checked in a while, but does the spandrel glass continue to go up without issue?

Skyguy_7 · #**4073** Posted **Jul 30, 2018, 3:31 PM**

^^^ Any concern about MEP delays can be alleviated thanks to the pic above. I see lots of duct, plumbing & sprinkler pipe.

jjk113 · #**4074** Posted **Jul 30, 2018, 8:42 PM**

Is there an estimated time when the building will top out ?

Some time in the winter would be a very safe bet. Early December is my guess, maybe mid/late November if they can hit a 1.5 floor a week pace

Can anyone recall the pace at which Trump Tower cycled? I once recall hearing 3 floors per week but that seems high.

Bombardier · #**4078** Posted **Jul 31, 2018, 5:50 AM**

3 days per floor is pretty much the maximum. They can do 2 days per floor but the quality is garbage.

Thanks, that's probably where I heard the (3) figure.
