Snowhatever
This blog is officially pre-empted by Snomageddon, Snowzilla, Snowpocalpse, or whatever you are calling this ridiculous snow of 2010. I had a regular construction update prepared, but snow rules. (Bonus: bookmark this post and re-live it in August. I think it might be looking pretty good then).
Of course we all thought the December snow was our “once a decade” storm. Who knew it would be followed by a “once a century” storm (well, I certainly hope so at least). I have a couple videos to show the damage, and pics too. (Be sure to kick up the video to 720p and watch full screen for full impact). No idea what this does to the construction schedule, but can’t be good.
Dec. & Jan. Storm Comparo — take a look at the far northern wall on the left side in both pics:

Crane Flies Away (Pt. 2)
If you haven’t seen “Part 1″ it’s here.
I wasn’t around from Dec 5 to Dec 16, so sadly I missed all the festivities of the crane and sheeting & shoring dismantling. Consolation prize is pictures of the crane hole being filled in and weather proofing the underground portion of the walls (perfect timing on that, right). Also a peek at the brick facade. More updates coming this week.
