    I am not necessarily recommending a continuous streaming webcam, so Jimbo, that wouldn't be as much of an issue - I think the most reasonable route to go would be a pretty simple webcam setup that takes a still photo over X seconds and uploads it. That way its not like you could see every detail, but would help us get to see what we want, which is the progress.

    Been there, done that, still have a shirt or three from it. Simply put, one tends to go 'camera blind' rather quickly, going about one's day no differently than it the cameras were not there. If someone is productive, they will still be productive. If one is a slacker, the camera won't change the person's nature more than a day or two, maybe three. It will document what happens if the cameras are tied to a recorder, but then again, so will an on site supervisor so no real difference beyond a better record existing.

    Pete,

    Where did you locate the garage rendering that you posted several messages back. I've not seen that one before ... I'd like to check out the source if it's available. It's good to see different vantage points ... we're probably spoiled by now of seeing the same ol' same ol' .... bratty kids we are!

    Doug, that garage rendering was from a huge PDF file that Devon submitted to the city not long after the official announcement. I couldn't find it on the city site any longer.

    It was the only new rendering in that package.

    you know it's gonna be an awesome development when even the parking area is sharper looking than 99%+ of what precedes it.

    I think I'm making progress on the webcam. I'll keep you updated as warranted.

    Anyone have any pics from the last few days? I drove by the construction site on my scooter last night and they had men working on it. I hope they have 3 shifts of crews working 24/7.

    Nah, no different than any other major city. Heck, try sleeping in NYC. Sirens, trains, etc. blasting at all hours of the night, most people live in old buildings with poor insultation and windows too. Many major construction projects across the globe have 3 shifts of workers on projects like this. Devon is generous enough to have bought the Colcord for a good amount, should any construction problems such as this arise.

    I had a dream about the tower last night.. it had a huge brick base (weird) and it already had about 5 stories completed. Very interesting dream..

    True... unfortunately it still doesn't stop the guests from eating the staff alive.

    No escalator building...






    The bridge between the two garages is gone!


    And this one is just for those of you that want to appreciate the detail at the top of the Colcord up close.

    Thanks Platemaker, glad for some recent pics. What are those "white blocks" next to the east parking garage? Limestone?

    They are Styrofoam boxes... don't know what's in them.

    I don't think anything is in them, they appear to be solid.

    I went down for a closer look and they are carving pieces off and extending rebar between... I'm not in construction so I have no idea what that's for.

    Possibly spacing to keep the rebar off the ground when they poor cement.

    Anyhow, for fun and comparison, I thought I'd post this pic of Devon's Canadian HQ building in Calgary, Alberta.
