The last stages of the 115th St. tenement took a long time. Once the heavy equipment was brought in, building parts, soil, roots, and what not got mixed into the garbage containers. As a shovel of trashed building was put into a container a guy crawled around and separated recyclables! Or something. There were clearly things (perhaps wood, it was hard to tell) that did not belong that he would throw into a separate container.
After the building disappeared a big hole was dug and a retaining wall erected. Later a small mountain of soil was built. That was shaped into a ramp to dig an even deeper hole. Digging still continues. You would not believe how many trucks of dirt were removed. They are still removing soil and rocks. If and when the digging stops and the building begins I'll post more pictures.

I'm off to Washington for the rest of the week. Posting on a more regular schedule will resume when I get back.
