That pole could be one of the poles that hold the nets.

Great irony there.

Yesterday I was working on a gazebo I am building, I dropped 5 screws while working. Now Imagine that monster tower with all the parts involved, all the people, and a nearly constant breeze blowing. Things happen, they are human too. I think they have done a splendid job considering the scale of the project.

Exactly, Mike. Accidents happen at construction sites despite the most stringent precautions. This has nothing to do with how strong the tower is so there should be no worries or questions about that.

[SoonerBoy18]

Yes they have done a GREAT job.

This may sound crazy but everytime something falls and the Devon construction having something to do with it, It makes me question how strong the tower/glass is.

They used to measure large construction projects like this by fatalities. If this is all your worried about, we've done well. Modern building standards have come along ways.

I don't know if anyone noticed it or has already mentioned it, but they have started putting glass up where the constuction elevators are..

I keep forgetting to check when I go by. Could someone post some pics?

They put glass in on the third floor a long time ago. How high are they now, according to your guesstimate?

[MDot]

I drove by again today and it looked like they had installed the glass up to the 7th or 8th floor where the construction elevators were.

Taken this morning before the rain moved it.

^^Wow,great pics!That first one could be on a postcard

[UnFrSaKn]

I'm not going to do any video updates until there's more progress. Kind of taking a break from it.

[Dustin]

You definitely deserve a break.. lol

[YO MUDA]

I cant believe how awesome downtown looks. Makes me proud.

Russellc,
That first pic is the same one ESPN uses during Thunder games.

I got the rest of my pics uploaded from today, (or yesterday now). I am a little disappointed in some of the pictures. The sun was shining in the first pics, and then the clouds came in and everything went grey, and I played with my settings on my camera and forgot to change it back. I had to do a full restore on my computer last week so Photoshop isn't on my computer anymore, and I can't find my cd to put it back. I had to use free software from the internet to edit them to make it look decent, but I think there are a couple of keepers in there. Enjoy!

Took a couple shots from way out west this morning. From Reno & Czech Hall Rd, in Yukon (about 12.5 miles away):


Zoomed in a little:

[OKCisOK4me]

Love it MM! Thanks ;-) Morning, evening, and weather related shots are always the best!

[MDot]

Yeah, those shots are gorgeous. Thanks.

[Bellaboo]

If someone has a good camera, there is an excellent view from the Czech Hall bridge over I-40.....early morning and late evening would be great shots.
