Nice picture with a perspective from high up. 

 

Kinda wondering:  I assume you're not really, really tall.  So, was some sort of gadget such as a remote control helicopter mounted camera involved?

Soils removal has allowed us to revisit the foundation design for a more cost effective system with less piles etc. That redesign is underway now. Final sealing of interior brick etc. Some Masonry work on the interior to start next week.

Thank you for the update.

[Mike K.]

I spoke with a construction rep today and work on the interior is now starting. Foundation work will also begin imminently starting from the west end of the property.

What's happening here at the shoreline?

 

[Mike K.]

They're starting preliminary work on the foundation. The fellow I spoke with said the tides are at the perfect height at this time of year for that work.

As video is always more interesting than just pictures...

It's been quiet over there (from a drilling standpoint) since this video but it looks like they're about to start up again. I was thinking that first pile might just have been a test?

Note about half of the west wall has been removed.

 

Also, I correct myself, the previous pics and video was the first pile.  You can see that first pile in the background.

 

 

What?  Not close enough for you?    

 

[Gary H]

Pouring concrete into one of the first piles.  Note how much water is first evacuated from the pipe.  Once they see concrete they start lifting out the pump tube and man that thing is long...

 

Best appreciated in full-screen HD 1080p.
