Interesting to watch them working today (Sunday) installing the panels at the 2nd mechanical room. They are using the big crane to lift a smaller crane to lift the panels and position them in place. While all of this was happening, I saw a hawk flying around but couldn't capture it in my shots.
They actually tried to do it on Saturday but it was too windy, and the small crane/panel was spinning uncontrollably after they brought it all the way up. They eventually aborted mission and came back on Sunday!
 
Photos taken today, Friday (Feb. 28). Some movement at the top since I posted last Friday, as can be seen more clearly in mburrrr'sss post above where it looks like the first elements for level 80 - whose ceiling it at 278 m - are in place. Lower down, the last of the four corner blue scaffolds are up to join the other three corners at level 71 it would seem - the attachment floor for the next set of hangers. Below that, the Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) installing the skin have mostly moved up a level. the west and north ones have now joined the east RCS at level 55, while the smaller one on the south face is at 52. And now some glass is visible on level 55 on the south face, the highest yet. Scaffolding down on the 1st mechanical level at the NW corner is now gone, making visible the second set of corner louvres installed on that level.

Starting with photos from the south at Yonge and Dundonald, with some tighter views, including of the highest installed glass on level 55, then the view from Charles east of Yonge, followed by Holt Renfrew on Bloor a block west of Yonge. Tighter views of the RCSs on the west side where the skin installation is staggered where the west and south RCSs meet. Views of the newly visible corner louvre on the NW corner of the 1st mechanical level. Then Cumberland, east of Bay, and views from Bloor and Yonge, and the east elevation from ground level. Finally, the view from Queen's Park Cres W at Hoskin, then down by College, with a tighter view.
