Photos taken today, Friday (Apr. 17). While there is no visible progress on the tower itself since I posted a week ago - glass installed same as last week on level 84 - I happened to be by when one of the Rail Climbing System sections was removed today. So a buncha shots of that! Now 2 of 9...

Photos taken today, Saturday (Apr. 11). Since I posted a week ago, two major milestones on the project. Some glass has now been installed on the top floor of the main structure, level 84, visible on the south side... and the first segment of the Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) installing the skin...

Photos taken today, Good Friday (Apr. 3). Very little new on the tower since I posted last Friday. A bit more glass and cladding on the south side on level 83... but nothing yet on level 84. However, it looks like the dismantling of the Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) at the top has started. The...

Photos taken today, Friday (Mar. 27). Since I posted a week ago, only marginal progress on the tower. There is now some glass to the left of the crane on the south side on level 83, up a level from before, to match where the skin has already reached to the right of the crane. Presumably they'll...

Photos taken today, Friday (Mar. 20). Yet another Friday where the tower top disappeared into the clouds... 4th time on a Friday in the past 5 weeks! But I got a few shots here through the mist, where it looks like there's been some visible progress at the top since I posted last week. Some...

Photos (mostly) taken today, Saturday (Mar. 14). Can't recall having to skip a day of shooting because the top wasn't visible since I started taking weekly shots of 1 Bloor W some 5 1/2 years ago, maybe happened once or twice... and now it's happened 3 times in the last 4 weeks! Though I did...

Photos taken today, Saturday (Mar. 7). Tried to shoot yesterday, but damn clouds kept getting in the way... Since I posted a week ago, just some incremental movement on the tower - some more cladding on the south face added - now up to level 81 to the left of the crane, while to the right still...

Photos taken today, Friday (Feb. 27), with an additional one taken yesterday from Woodbine Beach, the first photo below. Not sure if I have ever posted one from that vantage point before. Clouds have cleared since I posted last Friday, revealing that all the Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs)...

Photos taken today, Friday (Feb. 20). Low cloud cover until I almost got home... that's the last shot. So couldn't see the top most of the time, but seems no movement since last Friday.

Photos taken today, Friday (Feb. 13). Since I posted a week ago, the west Rail Climbing System installing the tower's skin has moved up, to around level 78, closer to clearing the last mechanical level, while the north and east ones remain at level 80, which seems to be as high as they can go...

Photos taken yesterday, Friday (Feb. 6). A dull overcast day with flurries - so a lot of murky shots here. But enough visibility to see some progress since I posted a week ago despite the deep-freeze weather. The north Rail Climbing System (RCS) installing the skin of the tower has moved up to...

Photos taken today, Friday (Jan. 30). Only a few photos from me this week as there is virtually no change since I posted last week. With the final few floors now getting the glass and cladding installed, some new skin visible on level 80 under the east Rail Climbing System, hence the closer...

Photos taken today, Friday (Jan. 23). Very cold out there today, -13 or so, in the -20s with the wind. Since I posted last Friday, the east Rail Climbing System (RCS), installing the building's skin, is up a level to floor 80.... and one wonders if that's as high as the RCSs can go? The bottom...

Photos taken today, Friday (Jan. 16th). Lots of visible progress on the tower since my post from last Friday. There is now some of the skin installed on level 79, the bottom floor of the last section before the top, and all 3 of the remaining Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) installing the skin have...

A couple taken today, Thursday (Jan. 15), showing more of the 7th floor windows installed.
