    Anyone know the timeline for pouring each floor? I know it was said that if it stays on schedule, the tower structure will be about finished the end of next year (exterior). I also know Trump Tower in Chicago their goal was 1 floor per day. Didn't know how Devon compared to Trump Tower in terms of floor pouring, etc. I'm assuming at 50 floors that's about one every 3-4 days?

    If somebody posts a picture of some Indian head wear, I'm going to start questioning what exactly they're doing down there...

    I just noticed it this morning. Why would a construction worker write that on there, don't they have better things to do?

    Maybe it is an inside joke with the construction workers, everyone likes to have fun on the job, does not mean they are not doing a good job.

    What's a "crawl crane" for those of use who aren't crane lingo savvy.

    You're right, I'm sure they're all business - they were probably trying to get a can of spray paint to work and this was their test sign.

    Funny? I don't get it.............

    Definition-A crawler is a crane mounted on an undercarriage with a set of tracks (also called crawlers) that provide stability and mobility. Crawler cranes range in lifting capacity from about 40 US tons to 3500 US tons.
    Crawler cranes have both advantages and disadvantages depending on their use. Their main advantage is that they can move around on site and perform each lift with little set-up, since the crane is stable on its tracks with no outriggers. In addition, a crawler crane is capable of traveling with a load. The main disadvantage is that they are very heavy, and cannot easily be moved from one job site to another without significant expense. Typically a large crawler must be disassembled and moved by trucks, rail cars or ships to its next location.

    That is an existing column to be demo'd, not new.

    That is not an existing column nor new, it is a piece of the drilling equipment they use to drill the holes, throughout the drilling process they have been drilling them into the dirt temporarily so it is easier to attach them later.

    Let me put it this way, it looks like an existing column, otherwise I'm guessing its a caisson.

    Caisson, that is the stupid word! I have been trying to figure that out all day... That is exactly what it is. They are using it to line the holes as they drill them.
