Photos from this afternoon. Lots of activity. The hole is quite deep, and they are using two shovels (one with a very long arm from above being loaded with dirt from a smaller one below. Tight space to excavate. Rebar is assembled at the bottom, getting ready for a pour. The concrete platform and tall pillar on the north side is unusual. Is that needed to make construction more manageable? Seems like this complex site has taken a long time to get to this point.

Saturday - April 21 - Noonish: Walking along King Street towards St Lawrence Market - saw the mobile crane at PJ Condos - hopes up - tower crane arriving.....

But disappointment - signs of progress, however it was the excavation equipment that had been at the bottom of the pit which were being removed, last piece now sitting on the John Street roadway, waiting to be loaded on its flatbed trailer for removal.

And pictures. There was sunshine all around, except on the crane itself....

The crane is nearly obstructed from this angle by the Enwave stack, but I have access to the boardroom where I took this pic and it should provide some decent views of PJ for me to share as it rises:

What is the purpose of the huge concrete platform at the one end? I haven't seen that sort of thing before.

site staging on a tight site. Previously many sites would have simply closed a road lane, but this is getting built without a lane closure, meaning the need for on site staging. Thus the platform.
