Had some fun yesterday setting the last piece of sky bridge in place, with the iron workers and crane boys. 350 ton mobile, and the weight of the pick was just over 32 tons.
Our pick radius had us at 60% capacity of the crane, but once the section was floating, it was no problem.
This skybridge will connect the new build we are putting up to an existing one. It will be fully enclosed with A/C and heat. This way, the older people who live here won't have to venture outside or cross a busy road if they don't want to.
Couldn't shut the road down till 7 pm, and we had till 7am the next morning. We were all done and headed home by 11:45pm. Got home just in time to get a couple of hours of sleep. Then, wake up and head back to the jobsite. 16.5 hr shift yesterday, lol.

TX of course
2 weeks away from finishing up a project I've been on for a year that only should have taken 6 months. In the first month I was telling engineer we where not using as much dirt as they said we should be. 7 months ago I finished building up all the areas that need to be built up with dirt. The problem is I still had a pond that I needed to dig that had 100k yds of dirt in it. We tried to get them to let us just add 1' of dirt over the entire site. Nope they redesigned the entire site. There are places where I placed 4' of dirt that they had me cut it all back out and move it. Don't get me wrong we got paid for the work and the design is much better now, but I'm done. There's been a lot of additional maintenance due to erosion that we normally wouldn't see. Now I'm watering sod with a water truck because the engineer didn't think about the fact there wasn't any water on site to do setup Irrigation.... It's been almost 100* here with no rain for 4 weeks.

I'm glad I don't do small dirt jobs anymore that might have a tower crane on them, but it was always kind of fun having the on your project. I did one at a Hospital and got put on the crane operators group text of attractive nurses. Dude had "Binoculars" for his phone and everything. I'm not sure what was more entertaining the eye candy or the the guys tearing into him because he was to "busy" to make a pick.

They all have binoculars I swear. Our operator has already told me about the eye candy that is around here.

Doing our Christmas lights earlier then normal this year. Using the trolley and side car for assistance. TC is 150ft above the street level, so not that tall at all, but we have some pretty good views of the Seattle area in general.
