Is anything going on about repairing the damage caused by the spinning crane this past winter? While I suspect the crane has been left up at its present height to help with the fix I haven’t noticed any progress. Time delay to purchase new parts?

The rows of windows that were smashed and netted up on the main body have mostly been replaced. However the crown row that was smashed has yet to be fixed— I suspect those were unique parts that are taking longer to rebuild

Great. That’s what has held up removing the crane. Once the replacements are installed the exterior can be totally enclosed and the building finished. I’m sure we all are eagerly waiting for that to happen.

Just getting the hoist down and the north face finished will be a huge improvement

Is the crown of this building finished? It still looks unfinished to me.

It looks like there’s still some more work to go

Still a few repairs from the crane damage this winter.

They are installing the replacement panels in a different way than the originals. Seems they are installing the frame sans glass first abs then inlay the panels

I don’t think all of the crown has windows–wind openings and lighting is up there too I suspect.
