Mark stays on top of things more than some others reporting the news but I think it’s a safe bet that Mark wasn’t up to speed?  If the developer puts up a sign with “G Orlando” I’ll be in the confused club.

They are building a crane on the site today. 

[RedStar25]

What? With no site prep? 

[dcluley98]

They will need to build a foundation before tower crane erection, however, mast and boom sections can be delivered and somewhat pre-assembled ahead of time. 

[jack]

Assuming it is on piles they could be doing a test pile program. 

[ucfpatriot18]

It’s not a tower crane.  It’s a crawler crane.

If they're leaving land for phase III, do they need a tower crane or can they get away with a regular one?

Meanwhile, here along the Shores of Eola, the oaks are beginning to take on their splendid spring green hues as the new growth explodes among hundreds, nay, thousands of beautiful, living trees.

I know which side of the lake I prefer (not to mention my much lower electric bills thanks to the shade the trees provide - but then climate change isn’t real, right?)

I wanted to make a joke about him probably not being very popular amongst a certain species of willow tree (think Mrs Slocombe's cat) but I dared not.

Just go for it. She would be unanimous in that.

A 2nd crawler crane is on the site. Looks like they're getting the caisson drill ready.
