I was wondering today when they would start. How they would juggle this and One Hundred.

Rumor has it the tower crane is only about two weeks away.

I was looking at the site yesterday and they have only dug a small hole. Looks like they are anticipating a shallow water table, I saw a lot of metal piping for a pump system to drain water.

They've dug a lot this morning. The hole is several metres down now.
Also, I can't find the post where it was mentioned but there was a question raised about why the left turn lane on Charles (to turn onto Gaukel towards Joseph) was closed. Today there are 4 very large vehicles relating to dirt removal parked there. I suspect there is nowhere else nearby they could put the queue.

The left turn lane on Charles Street in front of the terminal was being used as a staging area for some empty dump trucks this morning, I guess that might be why they are cordoned off.

Getting a picture of the hole is very difficult right now. From the best angle I can get (the bridge overtop of Charles in the Manulife building) it looks like most of the property is a bit below grade, but the actual hole is all on the east-ish (Hall's Lane) side of the lot right now. From Charles and Gaukel all the equipment is blocking the hole. Next time I'm around King and Gaukel I'll try to get a shot but the pic I took yesterday afternoon is just a plot of land with a lot of trucks in it. Not entirely uninteresting, but not especially illuminating, either. If there's someone from Thalmic who can get to a window on the top floor, that would probably be the best shot.

It could be closer to the Laneway, but it looks nearly at grade this morning.

It may be that they're clearing out some of the different layers of fill they put in to be able to support all the heavy equipment? I really have no idea what the steps are. Yesterday after lunch there was a large hole on that side (like, the bulldozer tires were clearly below grade) and it looks like they've been loading up the trucks with dirt and the trucks leave. The pile driver is still active as well, there's a lot going on there that I am completely ignorant of.
