ROOF COMPLETED
 Jan. 13, 2004, 12:40pm The first panes of glass are mounted on the second floor and most of the roof is completed. Compare the floor-to-ceiling height of the fourth floor with that of the other floors. (Extremely cold temperatures have made outdoor photography difficult during this month.) |
 Jan. 18, 2004, 12:40pm Primary and secondary railings are mounted on all the floors except the fourth. The ceiling still remains to be completed at the northern edge. Blue gang-plank sticking out of the second floor is used to load materials onto the upper floors. |
