Orin has wrapped up their demolition yesterday. All is quiet now and they are ready to leave.

Next step will be the actual construction. That can get really noisy as well, especially in the early stages when they hammer in the steel poles…

Neither partial, nor conditional permits are for shoring are yet issued. So this will be quiet for a little bit.

Not sure if the shoring application is approved or not, but an Orin Shoring truck pulled up today (along with Enbridge)

Could this beautiful tree be coming down today? I’m afraid so. Chainsaws are ready (and it’s not for Halloween). Stay tuned.

Things have been pretty quiet lately, however in recent days, a temporary tent has been installed and right now, “first shovel in ground” celebrations are taking place.

That chopped tree was reincarnated on the top floor.

Noticed that they seem to be bring in new soil or gravel and levelling the site. This doesn’t sound right when they should be digging. Could there be a change of plans (short term) and they are prepping for a parking lot now?

The developer site was updated for January, but makes no mention of this.

More than likely just a bit of grading, and backfilling before starting shoring.

The conditional shoring permit is 'ready for issuance' as at February 6th.

The demolition company removed the pole indicating the parking boundary when constructing sidewalk protection …so the fact that their gate becomes blocked is partly their own fault.
