Glass Installation Completed
 Mar. 1, 2004, 12:41pm The last crane is removed. |
 Mar. 1, 2004, 12:44pm All deliveries to the higher floors are via flat-beds with cranes. |
 Mar. 1, 2004, 8:10pm A night shot of the semi-illuminated building. |
 Mar. 1, 2004, 8:15pm Looking north from Dundas, the 8:15 patrol is right on schedule. When completed, the south stairwell will brighten the gloom. |
 Mar. 3, 2004, 12:37pm The loading-dock. |
 Mar. 3, 2004, 12:42pm Delivery and installation of a 576V star-delta configuration motor (at right, sheated in plastic; closeup below). This is possibly for the HVAC system. |
 Mar. 2, 2004, 12:44pm A closeup of the motor description. |
 Mar. 3, 2004, 12:47pm Since the cranes are no longer available, the alternative method of delivering concrete is to back the cement-mixer up to the concrete pumper which has a long, extensible arm. |
 Mar. 3,2004, 8:20pm (To be commented on later due to extreme paranoia (not mine, though).) |
 Mar. 11, 2004, 12:40pm Glass installation on the north face; the windy weather takes a toll on the vapour barrier. |
 Mar. 18, 2004, 12:40pm Metal siding joins the glass to the concrete. |
 Mar. 18, 2004, 12:42pm A bit more progress on the entrance; the cement blocks are a surprise. |
 Mar. 19, 2004, 12:40pm Sealing the glass joints using a hoist. Will something like this be used to wash the windows once the building is occupied, or will the windows remain forever streaked with dust and dirt? |
 Mar. 19, 2004, 12:42 It is unlikely there will be a glass-enclosed viewing deck since the roof is made of metal and not glass. We lower our expectations and hope for a glass-walled viewing deck. |
 Mar. 23, 2004, 12:41pm The glass installation is completed, except for the missing panes. |
 Mar. 30, 2004, 12:40pm Exterior brick installation begins. |
