You right Helmut. Just drove by and I can see that it's up to date...That so called elevator tower is being bricked as I type. Looking good......It's almost completely bricked. They are working fast.

They are starting to place roof panels on this morning. They are starting at the far end and working loser to the camera. They have not reached the cricket yet as of 10:45 A.M. this morning.

-----Helmut do you realize the education you have given us in construction over the years???? That along with the rising Mississippi River posts have surely given us an added boost of knowledge!!! Thanks!!!

Thanks for your kind words but there may be some that may have a contrary opinion. (especially about floods) LOL.

Lots of work on the roof today. Looks like they have the roof panels on up to the cricket and maybe on the cricket too. (can't tell because it's on the side away from the camera) Once they get past the cricket they should make steady progress. Roof and wall panels need to be placed accurately because on a big building like this once the seam lines get out of whack then it just magnifies as you work your way to through.

I'm thinking they want to get as much done before the Friday - Saturday rains they are predicting.

Helmut, do you think the roof could be completely covered prior to Friday? Can any slowdown occur due to water damage if the Roof does not get installed prior to rain?

Boomer, do you think with all the education Helmut has given us, we could have an honorary Degree from UL engineering?

Not a chance it will be done by Friday as today is the last good day for a while. Currently, they are working under the second floor deck and I doubt they would have anything there that would be affected by rain. They need the roof on so that can start second floor partitions. Once the roof is on and they can finish erecting the red steel and skin the building. After that there won't be much we can see with the web cam as almost all of the work will be inside.

---If the money donated to engineering were sufficient, Dr Zap might consider it---LOL!!!

I was going to say that it looked liked they were putting the roofing on the cricket when I went by late yesterday.
