Ya, did I a miss a vote or something? In the future you need to get someone to cover for you; we're counting on you!
Now, to make up for missed time you can submit two photos per day, and one video per week. Chop, chop.

Have you paid the one-time non refundable premium charge for the uninterrupted service (including real-time streaming and interviews after porta potty usage) ? You're probably on the free app, need to coin up man. Cheap bastards

Thisisforreal is the man! Jokes aside we love not only your vantage point but how dedicated you are to updating us! It's so awesome to see this building climb and not miss any details! Hope vacation was relaxing and welcome back to the skyscraper grind!

In all honesty, I take more photos and videos than I post. Vacation was sweet; we've got family in Orlando, so we told the kids we're just visiting family but surprised them with 3 days of Disney to wrap up the trip. 32 hours in the park with kids aged 6 and 4 with 0 "carry me", 0 "I'm tired", and 0 meltdowns.

I did, I promise, I've got the cancelled check for the $2.50 annual membership.

Will there be a point where this moves quicker or will this be the pace for the entire build?

they say it will move faster after the 10th floor or something like that. The floors become typical at a certain point and they can form and pour much faster.

Even still, the 3rd-4th floors went up very quickly. It's nice to see it increase, but it's still rising at a pretty fast and consistent rate.

In somewhat related news, the NY Times had a great article today about how the MTA expect to take 40+ years to upgrade the signaling system for the subway.

Great. Just in time for it to have been replaced by the hyperloop.

Starting on the deck of the 8th floor on the right side. Not long now before this thing reaches the 10th floor and really starts to take off.

Great to see the progress. It would be great to see these pics in a time laps clip.
