The Week of December 23, 2018 — The Last Full Work Week of the Year
To end the workday on Thursday, December 27, 2018, what better inspiration than a spectacular and breathtaking sunset backlighting the hospital towers?
With Christmas Eve on Monday, and Christmas falling on Tuesday, it’s going to be a very short work week. A little rain is in the forecast along with some wind, and cold air: We need a sprinkle of winter to toughen up our Southern California-tanned bodies. Despite the in-climate weather, there will be the diehards who will walk around in their shorts, flip flops, sans a jacket, and an umbrella. Notwithstanding these character flaws, we are happy to get in our automobiles and sit in traffic for an hour to go eight miles to get an ice-cold coffee. I digress: At any rate, the work on the site must go on–the crane will be hoisting more beams to the oxygen-deprived 18th floor of the central elevator tower. More exterior panels will be installed on the southeast side of the podium levels. In a couple of weeks, if not sooner, it is anticipated that all of the podium levels will be covered, with the exception of the south and east sections where the lifts are anchored to the steel. These side panels will be installed once the interior elevators become operational to replace the exterior lifts.
is all the steel and flooring up now or is there still some on the ground and waiting to be delivered?
