Jib Crane

Strange that no one has yet commented on the Jib Crane assembled on the rings for over a week. This heralds the impending disassembly of the last tower crane.

Looks like the temporary railings (yellow posts) and netting are starting to be removed from the communication rings (lower ring).

Fireproofing done on the south east side of the base and do I see the permanent roof crane or window washing equipment being delivered?

Does anybody know why the section with the grating on the building is not lit up and if it will be when the building is finished?

Is it just me or does it look like the derrick boom is not long enough for disassembling tower crane, or are they going to install a climbing cage on the tower crane and jack it down?

All of the light you see now will look very very different when people are occupying their offices. You still cannot tell what this tower will look like until its actually occupied and the floors are filled in. The part with the grating, however, will probably not change much.

Lovin' all the nice shots guys/girls! I only wish it'd been at the same level of completion when I was there earlier this year.
