I find construction mesmerizing. Always have. Not really sure why. I can barely swing a hammer.

Wow !! The size of this pit is really starting to show. The more they dig downwards on this project.

Sunday Afternoon, April 8.
On a very cold Sunday afternoon, two crews were working in the south-east (office tower) portion of the site. One was draining the rain water from the on-site rain water holding tanks into a tanker truck for removal (kind of a normal, after regular working hours site maintenance activity), however the other crew was actually doing construction related work - drilling into the rock face on the south wall and preparing for the installation of the side wall rebar mesh for the pouring of the basement perimeter wall concrete). The worker on the cherry picker bucket is hard to see - he is wearing an orange top and is on the left side of the bucket, the other worker is totally obscured, between the cherry picker and the wall.

Hoarding started on Spadina.
Lane blockage on Front might be for the hoarding stage.

I walked by the site on Saturday, the trucks going in and out at a steady rate makes it feel like a mining operation.

That pond in the top corner look like a Tailings Pond too. Hey... we got our own tiny bit of Sudbury right now

1. First photo is taken from beside the 401 Wellington West (Stantec) building, looking west along the Wellington Street frontage.
2. Second photo from Spadina, at the south end of the 401 Wellington building, looking south - looking at the crane base
3. Third photo - a general view of the site looking west from the Front and Spadina corner

look like they are for blasting, though I'm not aware of them doing any blasting here.

They might be from one of the old buildings that were on the site. I remember them breaking and pulling out some steel beams in that area when they were going through the clay layer.
