(been a bit busy lately - anyone want to buy a nice refurbished bungalow in Oak Park ? PM me).



Some very serous construction shields - DIY from the guys who play with steel.


The one in yellow is on the "phone" with the crane operator

Forgive the poor clarity- dirty windows on 225 W Randolph. The extra foot or so makes a notable difference on these floor-to-floor heights.

Harry, how many times optical zoom (or how many millimeters in 35mm equivalent)?
Or do you have a personal quadcopter now to zoom in anywhere you can find beneath the stars?

just few meters - from the top of the parking garage next door. And a 75-300 Zoom.

So some glass has been installed.......it's not the most obvious, because it's located 2nd floor/mezz level that's facing the 'cut-out' corner of the lobby.....but it's there! Positive first impression, but quite honestly it also wasn't easy to tell......I expect this curtain wall to be very nice as I'd be shocked not only if Ronan lets us down, but frankly if he doesn't impress at that.....

Hah -- I've been on vacation. I can't believe I missed the start of the glass. I'll be back in the office (posting photos) tomorrow morning.

^ I think you'll have to get it from the street, as it doesn't look like you'll be able to pick it up from your office, fyi (I suppose I could be wrong if the light conditions are just perfect, but might be tricky still).....also, it's the section on level 2/mezz facing the cut-out corner that faces south, not west, fyi....

This image is from a week ago. Not the best picture, so I decided not to post it earlier.
