Photos taken today, Friday (Sept. 29). Since my last set of photos last Friday, the 6th set of hangers have been installed (I did post a photo of that Sunday); the north Rail Climbing System (RCS) has been raised to the 10th floor; the yellow netting that had been put on the east RCS has now...

Taken today, Sunday (Sept. 24), as the 6th set of hangers have been installed over the last 48 hours...

Photos taken yesterday, Friday (Sept. 22). A bit of a milestone since my last post last week, as the west Rail Climbing System (RCS), the last one to move up, did so over the past few days, to the 9th floor as the cladding is complete around the west building extension. And work has already...

Photos taken today, Friday (Sept. 15). Not much changed since my last post a week ago. None of the scaffolding has gone up, as the more-tedious work on the mechanical levels 37/38 continue. The one bit of progress to report is the installation of glass and cladding on the 9th floor behind the...

Photos taken today, Friday (Sept. 8). Since my last set of photos taken last Friday, the north Rail Climbing System (RCS) is now up to the 9th floor, matching the east RCS which went up last week, and the first glass has been installed on the 9th floor, along the south side. Had a chat with one...

Photos taken today, Friday (Sept. 1). Since my last post a week ago, as seen in posts earlier today the east Rail Climbing System (RCS) has gone up one level, to install the 9th floor skin, though none of it yet has been placed. The north RCS seems to have all the cladding in place for the 8th...

Photos taken today, Friday (Aug. 25). Since my last post last Friday, windows completed for the 8th floor on the east and north side under the Rail Climbing Systems (RCS), with cladding also partly installed - complete on the east side, partly on the north side. The windows/cladding on the west...

Photos taken today, Friday (Aug. 18). Since my last big post from a week ago, the Rail Climbing Systems (RCS) are now all up to the 8th floor, the north RCS having moved up one level by Wednesday. The 8th floor glass seems to have been mostly installed on the east and perhaps the north side...

Photo taken today, Sunday (Aug. 13), from the Wallace pedestrian bridge, which is at Dundas St W, several blocks north of Bloor in the west end. 1 Bloor is now clearly visible.

Photos taken today, Friday (Aug. 11). As mentioned by Rascacielo above, an exciting milestone has been reached as the first "climb" of the Rail Climbing System (RCS) has been done. Seems this happened either today or Thursday, judging by photos in previous posts. The east RCS is now up to floor...

Photos taken today, Friday (Aug. 4). Since my last sets of photos a week ago, the tower has gone up another level, with the corner scaffolds up one level, and the rest of the blue scaffolds up a level save, it seems, for the super-column ones. Are they now pouring the mechanical levels? After...

PART 2: Photos taken today, Friday (July 28). As seen above in Benito's post, the newest set of braces for the newly raised crane were installed today. Here is the street view.... Starting with several smaller pieces being craned up, then the installation of the first of the three attachment beams.

PART 1: Photos taken today, Friday (July 28). My usual single post split into two, the first here is showing the windows going up behind the RCS scaffolding and some other shots. As usual, I start with the wide beauty shot, with the blue scaffolding on the top and the corners having gone up one...

Here are some shots taken today, Tuesday (July 25). A crew was adding one of the last pieces of "ceiling" cladding on the first level, with the north face now entirely cladded. Activity on the RCS as it seems they are now starting to install cladding behind the black scaffolds, if what a few of...

Photos taken today, Friday (July 21). Since I last posted last Friday, the tower's forms have gone up one floor, 35th or 36th now, all the scaffolding on the corners of the mechanical floors are gone, the fifth set of hangers were installed on Wednesday and Thursday judging by other postings...

Photos taken today, Friday (July 14). Scaffolding was completely removed from the NE corner of the mechanical level, mostly removed on the NW corner, when I was by this afternoon, so some shots showing the first "notch" in the building completely visible! And a shot of the crane side. Correct...

Photos taken today, Friday (July 7). My usual weekly wide shot of the tower, added to my "time lapse" album on Flickr. Starting with some shots featuring the elevator/crane south side, the numbering of the floors visible for the elevators up to the 20th floor, then unnumbered up to floor 27...

Photos taken today, Saturday (July 1). Only a few this time as since the last time I had a full post eight days ago, very little has changed, at least on the lower levels. Above the mechanical level, the blue scaffolds have moved up a level or two - was that floor #34 being poured above? But...

Taken today, Thursday (June 29), from the Wallace bridge, off Dundas north of Bloor. That's almost High Park. Below the 1 Bloor E tower in the centre, we can now see the blue scaffolding emerging from behind the towers west of it, the crane plainly visible.

Here are photos taken today, Friday (June 23rd). Since I last posted photos two weeks ago, the Rail Climbing Systems (RCS) have been all placed, with the last two hanging sections of nine placed on the north side, judging by member photos, either Wednesday or Thursday. Someone asked who said...
