Stubby little thing. It's hard to tell but I'll bet when it swings around towards the Exchange office tower it'll just fit under the first overhang.

So this crane must be a cousin to the one at the Telus building on Seymour!

[mcminsen]

Interesting. They seem to have added an extension to the boom. So, would we call this a luffing crane then?

We used to call them whiskey Dink cranes. Were used on sites where there is only room for one crane hammer head. Or on sites where a second crane was added after do to not keeping schedule. It has its limits on reach and load but serves a purpose

About six months later at the little hotel site. Some progress has been made.

I was half expecting to see an inactive site but then I spotted some workers.

interesting forming of the concrete around the windows. I don't remember such intricacy in the renders.

[mcminsen]

Very little progress in about three and a half weeks...

Thanks for the update, mcminsen.

It's progressing. Slowly. But it's progressing. Looks like there are seven more floors to go.

Thanks.

Surprised that that Hydra restaurant is still going, given the poor reviews.

[Klazu]

They sure have taken their time with this tiny project. I keep forgetting anything is happening here.

Given the current hotel market I don't think they're in any rush to complete.
