HoustonBoy Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 So is it safe to assume that this thing will be delayed a considerable amount? How do you even repair this type of damage? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangledwoods Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Quote So is it safe to assume that this thing will be delayed a considerable amount? How do you even repair this type of damage? Looking at the photos, there isn't really all that much damage. They will spend more time arguing about who's insurance should pay what than the actual time it takes to address the damage. I would bet this sets the project back 3-4 weeks max. Having said that, if I owned that tower crane, I would claim it as a 100% loss and sue the shit out of Consolidated..... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tangledwoods Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Of course the crane guy in the last photo isn't wearing a hard hat or vest. These people are a joke. Side note: Awesome photos cityliving!! 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post hindesky Posted October 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2021 You can see where the crane boom landed on the raised concrete and the damage it did. The rear deck of the tower crane still has a section of the walkway missing. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there damage on that trailer? (If it took out a branch that size, there would be.) Here's the street view of the tree from January 2020. The branch doesn't look low enough to be taken out by a semi trailer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike78 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 This occurred before the wind came in. But no, there was no visible damage to the trailer or truck. Their propensity for moving our trashcans out of reach of the trash trucks so they can park demonstrates stupidity and/or indifference. Either of which, combined with their recent crane fiasco, informs my opinion of what likely happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilcal Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) Shit's on fire. 4ish fire trucks are here. Appears to be mostly contained. Edit: this first photo is dark not because of smoke but because twilight with fire truck lights roaring is tricky to photograph well.

Popular Post hindesky Posted December 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2021 As I drove up a neighbor from the building east of this said it was only a small fire on the southwest side corner. He said some insulation had been left up against some bare electrical wires and it created a small fire that the HFD put out in 5 minutes. He also said they had brought about 30 various types of fire vehicles to work the fire. He mentioned that there is no wood in the building now just metal framing. It occurred on the floor 2 below the top. Work continues. North east corner. Southwest corner where the fire occurred. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilcal Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Thanks for the research! My wife mentioned that she didn't think there was any wood in the structure yet so my nerves calmed before I walked over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
