Tower Crane Removal
Hi….it had rained early on a Friday, but I got a chance to visit the construction site for the "preparation" of the Tower Crane take down. It’s an interesting procedure…taking out vertical sections of the Crane. Large tools are hoisted up in a big metal bin to the Crew members that have already climbed the latter inside the crane sections. This procedure starts as soon as possible after topping-off, pouring final concrete floor. The crane is a major expense in the construction budget. (Earlier, I was on-site for the complicated topping off pour…but the shots remain un-posted as XVI). Anyway….I was lucky enough to watch & photo the (elite) Iron Workers do their thing on the Crane outside and inside through the dirty windows, with spots I couldn’t remove in PP. The next day (Saturday) the Crane arm would be removed....but my "honey do" list got in the way and I wasn't there. So, I abbreviated this visit with mostly a collage format (download looks best)….Thanks

They're all great but the next to the last one featuring the workman is outstanding! Love the sky in all of them.

Thanks Eshlemania, Ben, Niklon, Stan, SueScott, jaymatt, ad8rr, Don, and topcat. Your comments are really appreciated this time. Right after this enjoyable photo session and posting, I had a home incident. I pulled a lateral muscle in my right leg, developed a blood clot that migrated and gifted me with a pulmonary embolism and a short hospital stay. (This was unrelated to this posted photo session). I’m ok now, but on the slow mend witjh lots of medical appointment. So I’ve been slooowly catching-up with UHH responses and focusing/studying PP. Can’t wait to pick-up the cameras over the up-coming holidays.
All….thanks for any future comments.
