At present, I count 18 floors up from the current tie-in floor (the highest ties and collar were removed today). I am not counting the level that would exist when a floor is poured atop the current level of the exterior climbing forms.

If my diagram has been correct, the current highest tie-in is placed at the 27th actual (32nd apparent) floor.

Correct me if wrong.

I was using the 32nd apparent floor tie-in for the 57th Street crane to count up from. Then I started to use the 59th Street cam and the roof of the building behind and to the left of 432 and counted 432 floors to the top of that building.Then i just count the floors 432 is above that building and add them.
