Careful now - don't crush the vents!
A new crane has arrived - It's big, and yellow.
Hi Everyone!
On the big picture, it seems to be more and more of the same. The
major material for the building is concrete, and the trucks bring more
about every other day. Yet, as the skies get gray the color in the
hole seem more vivid.
Today there appeared a yellow section of crane boom, the rest of the machine will arrive and be assembled tomorrow.
The bright blue “hamster runs” are actually air ducts. They are made of a plastic foam to reduce noise. Monday we found out that it is not strong enough to support the weight of a backhoe, and a large portion of yesterday’s Project Meeting was consumed with strategizing ways to get the rest of the ductwork in the ground without further mishaps. Admittedly there was some foot shuffling as to which contractor(s) would be responsible if it came to hand shoveling.
The first row of columns is complete, giving a better sense of the space and hinting of Karnak on University Bay.
Next: Floors (more concrete).
