When do the ironworkers believe this will top out?

EDIT- Carlos your pictures are beautiful.

What do you mean by "80foot dog houses"

Think temporary steel structures above the roof (105) level so the cranes can jack themselves up and their base support will be above the roof level so the concrete roof can be poured and the cranes can be shifted around to allow for the placement of colling towers and errection of rings and spire.

As it turns out, that beam was signed by President Obama, Michelle Obama, Governors Cuomo and Christie, and Mayor Bloomberg.

So this was the topping out beam, I suppose.

Here is a BIM model shot of what it will look like as rings are being erected but before the spire goes up.

That looks like a tricky balancing act!

Sooner or later we're going to have trolls say....."I told you so,this tower is in fact going to be 2,001';as you can see huge pieces of metal rise above the current parapet."

Nope, they even said in the article that this was absolutely not part of the topping-out ceremony..

Yes Carlos has some great views, and I wish I could live by him but I also have nice views from The Rockaways and beyond. Carlos is a great guy for sharing his view with others.

How long do you think the rings would take to assemble?

This building,once completed,will be a stunner.

Something tells me they've left their mark somehow... without the rest of us knowing...

From the Gehry building:

Ironworkers no doubt, left their initials and messages throughout the entire superstructure.
