MARCH 3<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Dunno what they\u2019re doing, but it looks like they\u2019ve got a hell of a lot of work in front of (and behind) them:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MARCH 9<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Workin\u2019 on the pump jacks (the vertical components of scaffolding):<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sun on the unpacked deliveries:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Way up on the upper Typar\u2026\u2026\u2026.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MARCH 11<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Givin\u2019 me the finger!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got a whole series on these two guys on top of the elevator shaft.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sweepin\u2019 and steppin\u2019:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I had to work fast on this one! All of a sudden, a balloon rises from out of nowhere (click!), rises above the guys (click!) and then I had to run to the other side of my apartment to just barely catch it (click!) – right before the wind blew it out of view (click to enlarge):<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What does it say? \u201cHappy Valentines Day\u201d (almost a month late)<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, there\u2019s my excitement for March\u2026\u2026..<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From out of nowhere (just like the balloon):<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Trading places (click to enlarge):<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sudden (and kind of dangerous) building tilt:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hanging on for dear life when it tilts back:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIs it safe to let go?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cMight as well fix something while I\u2019m here\u2026\u2026..\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, his \u201cfriend\u201d sneaks up the ladder (1), knocks him out (2), ties his hands behind his back (3) and wires his feet together (4)\u2026\u2026\u2026..and look at his face – has he been gagged?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

King of the Hill:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Back to work:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWho\u2019s doin\u2019 all the work here?\u201d, he wonders as he pulls something from his back (second pic………what could THAT be?):<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We finish the day with nobody doin\u2019 nothin\u2019 in mid-air on a windy day:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MARCH 12<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Snowy day, windy night<\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MARCH 14<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Tackling the massive delivery job on the roof:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Trying to figure out how to jam all that roof stuff into those super-drafty windows:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

March 15<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Guys working on a Sunday!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MARCH 16<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI heard there was a nosy photographer out there somewhere\u2026..\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“I think I see him.”<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MARCH 17<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Some new shapes to see\u2026..<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MARCH 18<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Did the wind knock this over?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Look at those long, painted fingernails on this gir\u2026\u2026..uh, person!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pushin\u2019 and tossin\u2019:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tubular tossin\u2019:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Slowly shrinking the load on the roof:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

More tube tossin\u2019:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That very last picture is the shot of the day. It\u2019s not easy timing and framing a large item being tossed like that from 2 blocks away (as he pats himself on the back).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

More stuff to toss:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This last one is a PANO:<\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MARCH 19<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

More rooftop chaos:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MARCH 20<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t know what the rectangular-ish red thing is, but it figured prominently in two shots:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019m guessing the 3 things on his head are freshly-cut because he appears to still have a saw in his hands:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tube sucks green stuff out of his ear\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026dunno what Big Red Riding Hood is doing:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Also dunno what that crane is doing:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Never toss a garbage bag with a big hole in the bottom:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MARCH 21<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Where all those tosses landed:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MARCH 24<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

4\/5 of a hardhat conference:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWho\u2019s gonna get rid of all this garbage?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWho cares? Let\u2019s just measure it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cLookit that guy below me with the upside-down broom!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Piecing together (click to enlarge first one):<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MARCH 25<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

From a distance, I thought that green jacket was a person, so I had to frame him\/her properly:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Not sure if the bottom two people are alive.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sawing in mourning (the first time those three words have been put together):<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This shows the same piece, the same guy, and the same pump jack\/scaffolding\u2026\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s that guy again from a couple of pix ago (fool me once\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026):<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cLook what I sawed!”<\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I think the saw is part of his hand\u2026\u2026..<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Two guys in each pic\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.well, maybe not:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wrangling a shiny green snake (and a petrified brown one…………click to enlarge):<\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Greenie gets called for an encore (click to enlarge):<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MARCH 26<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Wish I knew what this thing was\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026..<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

MARCH 28<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Still haven\u2019t got those drafty windows fixed:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MARCH 30<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Related pictures:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MARCH 31<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

I thought the guy on the left lost half his leg\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026until I saw the double foot on his ankle:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What! No saw?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Something about this very blue-eyed guy looks familiar:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The last March delivery:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Too bad this isn\u2019t a video – I could show you a rolling square:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A very windy day (and there\u2019s that darn green snake again!):<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Too bad he can\u2019t roll the roll:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And here\u2019s what happened when it DID get unrolled:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I hadn\u2019t done a walkaround in quite a while, so that was today\u2019s main job.<\/span><\/p>\n

Half of these are large panoramics. If you see the word PANO, click it once\u00a0 to fully enlarge (Passaic St PANO takes two clicks).<\/span><\/p>\n
