Yes, keep us posted on road closures, I'll cancel all off my schedule to capture

[jollyburger]

I guess once they finish installing the panels where the construction elevator went up will be a sign they are close to removal of the crane.

BMU in action today with no basket attached yet.

The structure you see at the top panel is also a BMU (no basket attached to it yet), I believe there is a second just like it for the Northeast wing.

Yes, I'm milking every last moment of this towers construction
I was hoping for a basket over the sides today, soon.

BMU was not ready to save that batt of insulation, the second one there might be saved, hang on little buddy!

Thanks jollyburger, maybe for offloading derrick crane parts onto the site grounds for prep-work, then tower craned up to the rooftop for assembly.
No work for me tomorrow so I'll be able to monitor (comment and post pictures) as the day goes on from my vantage point.

[Zepfancouver]

Unfortunately the action is East of Burrard Street. We'll get it next time.

Hmm, panels coming off instead of being installed
My pixs, March 24

Up to about floor 15, although it looks as if more will be removed

I'm pretty sure that's where the external elevator was recently removed, and they're now installing the panels where it used to be, but they're working from the top, down.

[Zepfancouver]

This morning, delivery of the last of the panels.

Scrubbing through the video from today and saw the tower crane was busy, everyone wanted a use of it.
Workers fiddling around on the top most roof where I believe a (from referencing RDW989 above posting, a now scheduled) derrick crane will be installed.

Today, no full go around for the BMU yet.

This morning, some weather wrap was removed on the 14, 15, 16 and 17th floor breezeway.
No planters or trees yet.
