Love it! Love it! Love it! It wouldn't be the same without the soundtrack. Do more. Please.

Workers are pouring the western half of the floor for the current floor right now.

The floor for the eastern side of the current floor was poured yesterday afternoon. Steady progress.

No, they used small tethered blimps. The view really is quite spectacular.

It was a slow day yesterday topside - I expect due to the rain. Workers are now preparing to pour the floor for the west side of the current floor.

Is Deerlick Creek the creek that runs into the east branch of the Don just north of Lawrence at the Donalda gold club? I just looked it up and I there does appear to be a least one minor tributary into it. Is the flow in the tributary seasonal?

Hey, caltrane, I like it. Short and to the point. Roof steel very visible. A nice supplement to the photos.

Yes, I agree. Vents at the south end of the east wall, not the north end, or only on the south side of the structure, once again at the east end, would have been more appropriate.

On Tuesday the floor for the east side of the floor was poured. Hand built forms (no flying forms on this job other than standing panels for walls and columns, but trhese still have to be mated at each corner) have been fully erected on the west side and partly on the east side. It seems that...

Love the video - and great soundtrack - thanks!

Pouring of the floor for the western side of the current floor is underway.

Hmm. Technical references as opposed to more readable sources. A novel concept. Well, if that's your preference, you can always take a look at: http://apps1.gdr.nrcan.gc.ca/mirage/show_image_e.php http://gsc.nrcan.gc.ca/hydrogeo/orm/pdf/bedrock_doc.pdf...

Yes, I have in a book a very small hard copy of a map that shows the old route. The historic path of the creek starts two blocks east of Jane north of Bloor and generally follows the bend of Bloor until it reaches the Humber.

Among other sources, check out the lost rivers link I provided above and the book I have referred to a couple of times above. The essay "High Park Waterways: Forward to the Past" by Jane Schmidt and Frank Remiz is quite instructive. You can also conduct your own internet and library research...

There were two things that were going on in July 2003 when the acquifer was "rediscovered". Firstly, workers were fitting caps on two artesian wells to prepare for expansion of two stormwater ponds. (Evidently, they knew there was goundwater/springwater here, but didn't realize where it was...

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurentian_River_System_(Ontario) And: http://www.lostrivers.ca/points/beforeice.htm "While the Laurentian River has been blocked by the Oak Ridges Moraine, the porous nature of this land form allows some water to flow through. Recently, drilling in High...

This one was rediscovered in 2003 when a 15 meter high gusher sprang forth. It was last in evidence in 1914 when mineral baths were located at this southernmost point of the acquifer, subsequently buried after the construction of Bloor Street. The gusher turned out to be the ancient Laurentian...

The Laurentian acquifer is still there, as it has been for thousands of years. I believe that its waters are still escaping from the acquifer at the north east corner of the park, its most southern extent, but I haven't checked on it in quite a while. If you want to investigate yourself, look...

Agreed. Given the location, there likely isn't any other plausible source.
