I haven’t posted on the Trump tower site for a while. For the past few weeks they’ve been building up supports like mad and starting to define a shape. Could this be the shape of the building? Yesterday when I walked past there was a cement truck up on Wabash with some pipes and a big hose going down to the site. Workers were then filling some structure with cement and spreading it all around. The construction site is finally beginning to resemble a building and not just a hole in the ground.

  1. Not to sound too much like a dork, but it’s not cement, it’s concrete. Cement is the powder that is in concrete. Think of it as the flower in a cake. Therefore, there is no such thing as a cement truck. They are concrete trucks. Sorry, but this is one of my pet peeves so I had to speak up.

    I think when it looks like they’re just standing there, they are probably waiting for the next truck to pump more concrete. They have to wear those rubber boots because the hydration of concrete will burn your skin. Believe me, I know.
