I guess the plants will remove that visual distraction of those black boxes on the breezeway floors (?) Those wedge inserts for the windows have some really bad gaps on them.

Thanks! Now we got the story straight. Updated my video's description.
Looks like it was a test run, the roof surface (in the video) is not completed yet.

[jollyburger]

Not sure if it's new damage but the side facing Thurlow has a cracked window pane on one of the lower levels.

Another Instagram post for the Porsche

Right now, 2 of these things were lifted to the roof, they are still unloading flatbed trucks.
Yes, camera's rolling

No road closures booked yet.

Now, top climbers are in the house! This is the start of the Derrick Crane installation
It's actually quite sad, the tower crane is unaware it is working to his own demise

[officedweller]

Cladding on the elevator overrun looks nice.

[Zepfancouver]

This derrick crane will be different from any other that I've seen.





End of the day picture. I will be posting an end of day progress of this derrick crane.

[Zepfancouver]

it's your standard derrick crane. One more day, for setting up, only pulleys left to install.
Those 2 yellow thing I posted the other day, I beleive are outriggers for rearranging the chains on the jib before they lower the jib down.
Unfortunately for me (for capturing the action), I think those outriggers are setup on the north side.

End of day derrick crane progress.

You can in the above picture, they've covered those gaps (cavities) at the bottom of those walls.

Still no road closure for crane removal.

[Zepfancouver]

A road closure should happen soon, top climbers are back at it this week and working late today.

I'm still hopeful the tower crane will be lowered on the southside.
I will post a video of the assembling of the Derrick Crane once completed (tomorrow or Friday)

Now.

[Zepfancouver]

Now.



We have a Tower Crane and a small Derrick Crane building a larger Derrick Crane ?

[Zepfancouver]

Yes! 2 Outriggers (same ones they used for the other tower crane) will be installed (this evening or tomorrow) on the southside for a front row view of the lowering of the jib.

Where this derrick crane goes from here we will know better tomorrow.

Earlier in the week they took out 2 glass panels (one on the East wing and one on the West wing, plywood is there now) with the help of the BMU (I have a video project going with that work being done).
