Devon Construction Cam

[Steve]

Absolutely ljbab. As I said, OKC Talk has kind of jumped the gun here a bit, but I'm hoping to get the whole story out soon as to how this will work, etc.

Interesting for the employees in MT to watch the new office go up. Thanks

What are they going to do right after the fondation dries.

What is that long black thing?

What are they going to do right after the fondation dries.

Start work on the first level of the "core" of the building where you find the elevators and emergency stairwells. The core also supports most of the skyscraper's weight.

How long is that going to take.

[Troypin]

Never mind. Its just another crane.

[jn1780]

I don't know. A week or two? It definitely won't take them as long as it did the foundation mat.

This is what came up when I went to Livestream.

Yeah, I got the same thing, bummer. I kept getting "offline" message this afternoon.

Welcome aboard grizzly! I bet this is nice for employees outside OKC to get to see what's going on with the new building. I'm guessing you all must work in the Bear Paw field?

Looks like OKC will have some Montana winter weather tomorrow!

Man, I drove my scooter up to the top of the garage last night. All I can say is that you can respect the size and coordination of this thing, until you're watching it in person from a hundred feet or so away. MASSIVE. They had plywood cutouts for the interior walls laid on the top of the rebar, and were starting to tie in rebar vertically around the cutouts when I was there around 6:15pm last night. I will try to ride up their more regularly and get pics.

[possumfritter]

metro...a pic after the snow stops would be terrific!

[metro]

I'll be in Dallas unfortunately, but if I have time when I get back, I'll see what I can do. Scooters and ice/snow ≠ good idea

[Troypin]

Seems like there getting alot done today before the snow storm.

Yes - I work in the Bear Paw Field. Getting a skiff of snow here but sounds as if you are going to get dumped on. So much for global warming!

Hey metro...think Extreme Sports buddy!

[jn1780]

Looks like they covered everthing up.

[Steve]

Yep, you're right Jn1780. I've been watching it on live streaming. They're doing it pretty rapidly too - almost done.

[hipsterdoofus]

I still thing the whole thing looks strangely like the hatch from LOST

I canna wax as well as Steve, whose work I enjoy, but here's a somewhat short version, unless I've overlooked something.

Local forum owner provides ongoing snapshots of largest downtown office project construction in, well, long long time .... no charge.
Numerous forum users add many quality images, again no charge.
A forum member creates stop action vids from time to time, again no charge.
Through it all, a lone white van gets some love from the masses.

Local paper elects to provide streaming video, sooner or later, under visa to view plan, other payment forms also accepted. No word yet if the van, belonging to another publication as it does, will be an island in the stream, or edited out.

[Steve]

You're off on this one, Kevin. Without getting into details, the subscriber wall was needed for reasons other than profit. For what it's worth, I expected someone to raise this issue, so I'm totally cool with you raising it. But please believe me when I say, if profit were the motive here, I'm pretty sure the cam would be open to all, allowing for greater hits on the page to bring in advertisers.
As I pointed out earlier, there are pros and cons with both cams. So yeah, you've overlooked something. Of course, who am I to discourage the conspiracy theories that add so much entertainment to our lives. Gotta be careful not to slip on that wax....

The Tower is just a cover story. The real purpose is the top secret government bunker.

Thanks, Steve. I signed up and now can watch whenever I want. It's great.

Got my subscription in this morning.
