Those are big steel beams he's standing on, had to lift them up with a crane
	From down the hill, that slit is one of the bits of curtain glazing that runs straight up for three stories
	Last of the top story frames up. Since then, another steel beam and some rafters....
	there are three church windows in the dining room of the little cafe, the stained glass looks very beautiful from the inside
	looking down at the middle deck, framed up like a spider's web to crate fall to a drain
	That's just another view of the middle deck, through the fairly serious steel truss spanning over the main entrance (my wheels in the drive, nicest ones I've ever had, little body with a very stroppy engine)
	We needed TWO cranes to handle some of the eleven precast concrete slabs. The biggest one is about 25 feet long, and weighs about 6 tons
	The end of a very exciting day; all eleven panels in place, and concrete poured along the front. It's a rotten photo, I should have been more in front, not to one side! And the Northerly winds have torn all the building wrap something aweful. have to fix that next week
