So, Erector is on site. Now, we wait for Scrapper, Hook, Mixmaster and the other Constructicons. We have seen Devastator, Long Haul, and Bonecrusher already. :)

Although, they are decepticons aren't they? LOL.

Thank you! This is a throw away account, I don't want to use my normal account when posting these after hearing about how some people are being watched closely by security.

My guess, it's a code for location.

As I said before, I'm pretty sure there is none. Pretty sure they've ditched project names that have anything to do with the final product.

Very few contractors have a crane sitting in their yard. Most of the time you have to rent one, and pay a man to work that crane. There is no way on earth you do that without having a permit approved. Here in Birmingham that's 8k a day just for the rental, plus however much a crane operator costs per day. Usually around 60 dollars an hour. So if you put a crane on site, and then take your prep work as far as you could, but than have even a couple days of delay where you're not using that crane it would cost a pile of money. Nobody wants to throw away money to the tune of $8,480.00 a day.

I'm guessing the giant crane may be a flat fee for a year and they'll be done with it by then.

I think that is a good bet Reel. I have never seen a gantry crane set up for a weeks or even months work. Most of today's work was just setting the thing up. Now take away an hour because we just had severe thunderstorms pass through with more on the way.

Actually, I don't believe it is going to get any taller. Height-wise, the control booth on top is one of the last items to be placed on a gantry, short of the gantry (boom) stabilizer above it. The gantry itself is the final part to be put in place.

Watch one being assembled: http://youtu.be/CCb879oJ36U
