I wonder if the canopy beams - which presumably extend as far as the pavement edge - will be installed now, or later in the build?

Haven't really seen a lot of activity on site over the past two days. Concrete pour on the right side of picture between the cranes. The odd bit of steel... Barely anyone visible... must be working on the lower levels!

Are we going to the cranes go up soon to make way for the next 7 story section? Do all floors get concrete or just every 7th?

Forum how do I go about quoting just one pic? in a reply.
True...

To quote one pic, "Quote" and remove references to the others by removing everything between the [url......[/url] for each unwanted pic.

Nice pics everyone - you don't realise what's going on outside when you're on the inside...
