Thanks, Drum!

Looking stellar all around... but I still can't understand why on earth they would leave those sickly trees. They look even worse in person.

Wow that podium is magnificent! I actually like the tree on the west side. It looks pretty neat!

The building is very nice, the podium is nice too, however I don't get the warped glass

Brand new sidewalks out front have been completed and they're now installing plywood panels in the lobby.

Is this the best looking new building of the 2000's in Toronto...if not it is up there. It looks magnificent!

 

[whatever]

Do the sidewalks have any kind of landscaping to them, or is it just a big expanse of concrete?

^ I was talking about the city sidewalks. They haven't gotten to area out front on Casa's property yet.

I was working right above the Cresford sign, but I'm unsure when I will return back (maybe next week?)

Be aware of a light brown squirrel on the 46/47th floor. I don't know how it got up there, but I would assume that it slowly moved up floors. The little critter
stole a slice of my father's spinach pizza, out of his lunch bag. He left the crust It was quite funny, as my father originally thought some worker
messed his lunch bag on purpose.

WOW!... that's pretty funny!!!!... That's the last place you would expect to find a squirrel!!!!!!! imagine if it fell off of Casa!?... that would be tragic

Squirrel... WIN!

I've had those problems too. 23rd floor of my balcony door & window at 33 Wood St. about 2003 using my webcam. No fear. Had to chase him out a couple of times, I finally put the screen back into the window.

I was by there about an hour ago, I thought it was the panels going up as I couldn't see very well because of the glare of the sun on the glass. The final, decorative horizontal trim on the lobby windows was also being installed today. I wonder if solar shades will be installed on the lobby windows. Come late afternoon it's going to be pretty sunny in that lobby.

This afternoon, as I walked by, a van parked at the church next door starting backing into the street. At the time, a worker was finishing some work on the sidewalk. It got very tense. The sidewalk guy hit the van with his trowel and started yelling at the driver. Clearly, both were at fault. the driver should have double-checked because there were lots of workers in the immediate area. The concrete guy should have cordoned off the place he was working and in any case kept aware of his surroundings. The van had only one exit path. The whole episode was both comical and scary. If the driver had been moving any faster...

Likely a city requirement - hopefully the health of the trees will improve once all the construction activity, dust, moving earth etc around them is complete.
