A few of the west side from this morning

They really should correct those maintenance fee quotes.. the fees are 54 cents, not .54 cents.

Moving a little faster They've started to pour the bottom level slab:

They didn't take down the full crane, they just replaced the boom/cab for some reason? It's all back together now.

Hmm it might be because they have backfilled around the pits/footings since then so there aren't as many of those concrete walls visible. They were pulling those backhoes out of the pit, btw. They dropped a mobile crane down in the hole which I assume is to remove all the shale. Theres still...

Mobile crane action today:

They started to backfill with gravel around the elevator pits this morning:

Took this a few minutes ago. Looks like they've poured a few more elevator pits. I think the excavation is almost done, it's nearly flat across the bottom of the hole now.

Yeah it was pretty early. They work most Saturdays at Shangrila, including today.

One from this morning.

Absolutely. That pic was taken from my balcony so I will have a front row seat for most of the construction. Unfortunately the building will also take away what little sky I have access to..
