THIRD FLOOR COMPLETED
 Nov. 6, 2003, 12:40pm The radioman on the left is in contact with the crane operator while the mixer operator loads the hopper with a fresh batch of concrete. (This is a three-image-stitch, shot through a 6 inch gap in the barrier on Dalhousie.) |
 Nov. 14, 2003, 1:12am One would expect deserted streets, but a random capture from the webcam at 1:00 am finds someone crossing the intersection. |
 Nov. 19, 2003, 12:43pm Looking north, across Gould, from the 2nd floor of the Rogers building; the yellow poles on the lower floors shore-up the concrete while it cures. At the current rate, the third floor will be completed by the end of November and the fourth floor, by the end of December. |
 Nov. 20, 2003, 12:40pm The forms for the south wall of the 4th floor are erected. Industry practice is to pour a new floor every three weeks (before the forms are removed). |
 Nov. 20, 2003, 12:40pm Some final adjustments on the third floor forms while the scaffolding and forms for the fourth floor advance north. |
 Nov. 21, 2003, 12:40pm I hope they remember to dismantle the crane and fill the holes when the building is completed. |
 Nov. 28, 2003, 12:40pm HVAC ducts are being installed on first floor, just north of the main auditorium. The slanting floor of the auditorium is visible behind the right-most yellow barrel. |
