He has his temper focused elsewhere.

Trees have been planted and a few gray screen panels are up.  I noticed in Mr. Hollin's picture from Friday that more gray panels are up on the south side.  Wonder if they are still going with the multi-colored stair step design.  Got to keep the drama going.

Here is an overview of this project from yesterday.  Including a garage scene update.

First a view looking south on Fifth Avenue between Church and Commerce.

You are seeing the reflection of the baskets hanging over the side.

These two photos are pretty impressive and show the growing density in our CBD.

Construction resumed after deep cleaning on site after at least 2 construction workers tested positive for Covid-19.

There are now four medics stationed on-site every day. Skanska requires workers to undergo temperature checks before entering the job site, with bracelets issued for those who have been medically cleared to enter. Face coverings and gloves are mandatory, with hand sanitizer available on every floor where work is being performed. On an hourly basis, a full-time subcontractor cleans elevators, stairwells, wash stations and commonly touched surfaces such as doorknobs. Crews from Gallatin-based Servpro Industries Inc. have been doing additional cleaning since early April.

Gotta be a monumental task to keep everything wiped down.  Not as hard as something like a large retail store...but still very difficult.

The excellent picture by downtownresident did have shadows on it, but the screen panels are somewhat different according to which color you look at.  And the fit is not perfect, though much better than what we saw three months ago.  Since I am somewhat obsessed with this issue I am now wondering what is going to be installed on the brackets protruding from the panels near Commerce Street on the west side.  Someday this sucker will be finished and I will have to get another hobby.

 

 

The panels in the lower lefthand corner have mounting brackets or studs poking through that go all the way to the top of the garage.

I think the shadows could be really cool with the shadows as the day passes, so I'm excited to see the final product. 

Perhaps we'll get more digital signage on the garage? Seems like it will be very large

This pic is almost perfectly level, but close enough to determine the highest point between The Renaissance and The Place, etc

My friend's friend took this picture on the day (April 25) the Music City Marathon had been scheduled for. He ran the route anyway.
