• Saturday, 02 August, 2014
What looked like a full crew worked on finishing
and maintaining the cement poured yesterday. As
usual, the crew broke for lunch at noon, but today
they did not return to work.

- Video - A Good Morning for Minutia
During today’s AM tour, we discovered yesterday
the fifth level was started in the Southeast corner.
Today, the West side center and Northwest side
received a good cementing.
• Thursday, 31 July, 2014
The crew removed the storage and built another
layer of wire and rebar grid on the existing-
cement of the Southwest side -- the first time the
Building Blog has seen a double layer of cement.
In addition, the crew continued on the wire and
rebar floor grid along the North side - and the
Southeast corner still lagged behind.
• Wednesday, 30 July, 2014
The Northeast side of the fourth level stretched all
across the North side of the lot, leaving the
Southeast corner the only portion of the building
still two levels down.
• Tuesday, 29 July, 2014
Cement was poured onto the wire and rebar grid
on the Southwest side of the fourth level, while a
similar wire and rebar grid was constructed on the
Northwest side of the fourth level. And of course,
there was catch-up work on the Southeast side,
which was still two levels below the rest of the
site.

Monday, 28 July, 2014
This week started as last week ended -- all of the
visual production happening on the East side. At
11A the crew boarded up the window-like hole,
which they cut the end of last week from the
cement wall, which they constructed the week
before -- go figure.
