Yes, they are kidding. I think these materials/panels serve many purposes: adhesive/joint to attach the cladding (though they probably attach those to some frame underneath these panels), waterproofing, insulation and surface leveller.

That is exactly what it is for. Blueskin... https://henry.com/commercial/self-adhered-water-resistive-air-barriers/blueskin-sa

At first, I thought you guys were kidding about the blue cladding, but seeing as you're serious...I assumed the blue was some sort of "undercladding", like they put up "pyjamas" on houses before laying bricks. Does anyone know for sure?

I thought the, Toronto needs more blues, was the dead giveaway that I wasn't being serious lol.

Not gonna lie, having the corners filled in gives the building a lot more mass than I thought it would. The bottom floors look a much more wide and dominating than the skinny upper floors that don't yet have the corners.

shitty question, but what happens with the outhouse that high up? do they empty it from there with a pump or do they just send the whole thing down with a crane and a new one up? I work in marketing in an office and have zero experience with construction or outhouses. I wonder about these things!

I imagine they get swapped out entirely once they are "full".

The whole thing gets crained down to the ground and a fresh one is hoisted back up to the top.

I have seen service trucks full of these units making the rounds at construction sites and I always made sure I drive as far away as I can from them (just in case .. )

I believe you had already received an answer from another forum member.

One might question how strong the welds are on the portapotty lift kit hook mounts these days...

There actually pretty strong. We had one here during the bathroom renovation, and they just hauled it out liquid and all off the lawn onto the truck with no effort.
