Crazy the way they are raising the crane. They literally took the entire top apart to add 5 sections. I also overheard someone in the construction crew saying that the delay was caused by the wrong type of mobile crane brought to the site on Tuesday. Apparently it cost them around $50,000 from the wrong crane being ordered. Oops! That's a costly mistake. But it makes me wonder why they would want to spend so much money when they could have got a self-raising crane in the 1st place. Fifty thousand seems a lot more than a jumper to me. And a luffing crane would have solved the problem of securing it to the street it seems. But I'm not into construction, so maybe there were other factors?
