When I did carpentry work years ago we always used a piece of wood up against another as a buffer when tapping in. Tap on the buffer piece and it saves damage to the wood, and also spreads the impact.
The curtains are pulled back! I love the amount of glazing on this podium. The whole 16 Ave SW has so much potential to become a great pedestrian/shopping street.
This thing is shooting up fast. I actually dropped my opinion from very good to so so ( great is reserved from Telus Sky calibre designs) I'm not feeling the balconies at this point. The light coloured spandrel and silvery mullions cheapen the look. I haven't seen it person and the photos were taking with the sun beaming on it. I'll get to see it for myself next month.
Was driving home from work sitting at a stoplight and noticed it - you guys are right - this one shot up very quickly.
I guess ill judge the quality of it in its entirety once its nearly finished.
Mine's sitting at a "Good" right now.
