No sorry I didn't think to ask. The ltower construction page says its the elevator coming down though...

Talked to a couple of the construction workers. Apparently the "flood" was caused by a faulty connection to a washer/dryer unit, and it did lots of damage. Many of the suites need to have the drywall and hardwood floors ripped out and re-installed. They said either 7 suites or 7 floors...

Looked like they were taking the crane down last night. Guess the demolition has reached a point where they can almost begin digging.

Crane is now up!

Are they going to remove the guide latches after they weld the seams? It will look really great if its all smooth and seamless!

Regarding the hoarding: Its probably really important for it to be there now. Last year, when walking to work, I can recall at least 4 times when large chunks of ice would fall off of trump or scotia and land on the metal roof of the hoarding. The sound is really loud.... sounds like a bomb...

Well this is what google says: Q.What is the maximum 'sway' movement at the top of the CN observation Tower, Toronto? A.In winds of 120mph, with 200mph gusts, the Sky Pod of the CN Tower would sway 3ft 4in from centre, and the Tower Sphere would sway 1ft 7in.

If anyone is interested they are installing the art project on the podium today...

They were out washing the podium this morning. It was a guy on a lift with a hose and some soap. Perhaps seeing if they can clean it up... or maybe testing if they can fix the deficiencies?
