From yesterday

Photos taken today, Friday (May 29). Progress at the top of the tower since I posted a week ago. All the platform sections of the east Rail Climbing System (RCS), which installed most of the building's skin, have now been removed, leaving the truss from which they hung to be taken down, followed by the climbing units, attached to the super columns. Once those are gone, then the last floors of skin can be installed. With 9 sections on each of the 3 RCSs, there are now 12 of 27 sections left to bring down. Also, work on the extensions of the super columns on the south face on the crown has started, visible on either side of the crane as metal frames for the cladding to be attached to. And, apologies to ImmenselyMental for misspelling your name. Off for a few weeks, see you all later in June!

No worries, I was just pointing out that my username has been misspelled before.

Since the weather is quite nice right now, I might take some photos soon, including of this project.

As anticipated, I took the following photos of One Bloor West this afternoon; I had not taken photos from the first perspective (northeast corner) in a long time:

...I don't think that's an easy crown to finish.
