look at the webcam now if you haven't today.

that sucker is going to be large.

Note the date and time in the bottom left corner of the picture.  I can still see the top of the construction.  Are they building it during the day and then dissasembling it in the evenings?

I got there right when they were lifting some steel with the bobcats.

thank you for the pictures but frankly there's nothing to see here folks, just big sexy ksu cranes doing big sexy ksu crane things

[SEK_EMAW]

Thanks for the pics, ed.

I bet Snyder taught them the 'three beams at once' maneuver.

First of all, thank you for the photographs/pictures ed.

Secondly, why did you say bobcats when it appeared to be cranes lifts the steel?

LMIQ, is had by SK though.

just early in this thread people were all hyped up when bobcats first appeared and then a few people talked of new bobcats arriving (cranes).   



not sure if I got this one before


but it was crazy watching the beams move.  I thought they would have multipoint attachments to cut down on motion and uneven lifting, but they just wrapped a cable and lifted like bosses.

[ednksu]

also there is a crazy amount of work on the north end lowerlevel/basement. I thought they were just doing foundation work, but there is stuff/rooms down there.  Anyone have any idea?

it's harder to connect a beam if you pick it in 2 spots.  the guy on the ground hooking them up measures to the center of the beam and hooks it up there, so it's not like they just throw a choker on it willy nilly.

Oh I know, but in a windy spot, when they did lean slightly I was just surprised.  I figured they would double loop near the ends so you can still attach with the end points.  I'm no construction guy, they were doing it like bosses. 

I was also thinking of the people who made comments about what they would do if they saw someone fall, all they guys were clipping on and off safety lines with the two line method so they were always attached somewhere.

I sure have a hard time believing they will be able to get this thing done for next year, but last week I ate lunch with a worker whose company bid on some of the work to be done, and he told me that work would be going on 7 days a week with 2 shifts per day.

if they make it out of prefab steel this thing will come together a lot quicker than you could imagine.  i have a huge construction iq

Anyone have a link to the lego set? I can't find it anywhere.

 

[GoodForAnother]

it's going to be six levels right?  so basically up to the height of hank's beam?

I mean, jfc
