Very entertaining, but probably right up there with the 9/11 troofers for accuracy.

I'm sure demo goes quicker when you don't have to work around anything that's occupied.skinzfan23 wrote:Wow that didn't take long....7-10 days and the building is gone.
I didn't go by today, but yesterday when I was there they were bashing in the 4th or 5th floor and they frickin LOST THE BALL!!! Â It was unbelievable, Â they hit the floor and the floor fell, they went to lift up the ball and the ball was gone! Â When I left there were two guys climbing the pile of rubble.

I was hoping that article would have a rendering of the new building, no such luck.skinzfan23 wrote:According to the story from the World Herald. The project will create around 300 jobs and be completed by Spring 2015.
Are they referring to construction jobs? That's always a bullshit way of looking at jobs created. They're not really creating 300 new jobs, they're giving 300 construction workers a new project to work on. Once the building is done, there will be 300 people without a job again.skinzfan23 wrote:According to the story from the World Herald.

I agree with the construction jobs though, they quote those jobs a lot of times but those positions are only temporary for 1-2 years during construction. Â But it does sound like this would be the number of actual positions created within the building.[/img]it is expected to create at least 250 jobs, about 150 of which would be medical professionals such as doctors and nurses, plus 50 administrative employees and 50 hourly employees.
A lot of dirt has show up in site in the past two days too. Not sure if they need to surcharge part of it or if they are just leveling out the east end of the site.Seth wrote:When I went by here on Sunday, it looked like they were putting the foundations in. Just from a quick glance, it looked like it's built on augercast piles, which go in relatively fast. I imagine we'll see formwork up out of the ground in a couple months.
