Day 46

Ok, this was cool - this contraption allows the construction men to 'pour' the concrete wherever they need to - the concrete truck pours it into the truck the green thing is attached to and the men use the long arm to deposit the concrete in the various locations.

Day 35

The loud ramming of steel tubes into the ground is over!!!!!!! Thank goodness! Our condo building would shake and any glass of water looked like it was on the set of Jurassic Park. Also nap time was becoming next to impossible. It's hard to sleep/concentrate on anything when you hear the sound of metal grinding against rocks and dirt and other pieces of metal ... and also while your home is shaking. Anyway, two new cranes arrived and these basically shove metal pieces into the ground - according to our building manager - they are laying the ground work for the basement and the elevator shafts.
