To quote my kids as they look out our family room window every morning and we drive around the block, “DIGGERS!”
Gosh, that brings back memories. When my boys were little any construction site around town was instant entertainment. If we had lived within viewing distance of the 315 site, we would never have needed TV!
It’s nice to have the entertainment. But it cuts both ways, with a constant cadre of construction workers standing just behind and above our privacy fence with no impediment to looking directly into our house at all hours of the day. It can be pretty disconcerting walking downstairs at 7:30 AM and realizing we have an audience. Sometimes I catch them watching whatever we’ve got going on TV (usually Sesame Street or a Disney movie).
I will say, it has motivated me to get those window treatments up, a job I’ve been successfully avoiding for months.
More asphalt lost in the name of progress.
I’m intrigued by that gray, 5-story unit in the upper right corner of the photo.
maybe the stairwell for a parking deck or elevator shaft?
Fire code dictates that stairwells must always be made of cinderblock/concrete/etc., so you often see those go up first on a construction job. There’s another one on the opposite corner.
Not sure I would call that the “upper right corner of the photo”. I thought you were talking about the Artisan. 😉
I’ve seen this construction from street level since it started. It’s cool to see it from above.
That stairwell looks like something out of Minecraft. They’d best check it for spiders and zombie pigmen before opening it to the public.
