One-week construction time-lapse w/closeups: Week 33 of the Ⓢ-series: Curtain wall work galore

[@Bill_N_ATX]

On Thursday, it was asked if that was a bottle of mustard or ketchup? It’s neither. It’s a bottle of powdered chalk that is used to refill chalk lines that are used to layout walls and features on the floor for others to follow. The layout guys are usually highly skilled at reading plans and making them fit the reality of what was built. Then laying out all the interior walls etc. They usually use chalk of different colors to put down those lines then come along with spray cans of a clear protectant to protect them. In the old days we’d use aquanet or such hairspray since it would protect the lines but wouldn’t last forever. Now days they actually make specific products to do that.

30:50 That's not a bottle of mustard. It has dry powder in it for their string lines. The reel of string sits in a chamber filled with the powder. When string is pulled out and stretched out and snapped it leaves a line of powder that is used as a guide to cut plywood, etc.

[@michaelfagan2086]

The powder is colored chalk.

[@AffordBindEquipment]

love the humor! Need it in times like these.

[@newsnowfresno6873]

@30:57 - not a mustard or ketchup container. It is a squeezable bottle with a nozzle but this one is filled with powdered chalk for refilling their chalk line holders.

[@willamcombs1106]

I think that was Mustard because the Plans guys is going; "Hot Dog! We're almost done!" Thanks for another great weeks video.

[@davidsilvera7436]

This was a good episode. Lots of work got done this week. Looking forward to seeing the windows put in.

[@staciedziedzic8706]

Hi it’s Stacie! I’m happy to see another video! The walk with the spider scared me but that’s not your fault! I love the music it’s awesome! Keep up the good work and have a great weekend!

[@jimrichards3916]

Thanks again. BTW I think that Ketchup bottle is line chalk ( I'm guessing )

[@joebledsoe257]

That fish messed me up for a second. What the heck? Ok I get it now. LOL

[@DoiThoXayVlog]

Your construction technology is very modern, professional and precise

[@pokerdad410]

I think the bottle of Ketchup you were asking about is actually a bottle of chalk for filling up their chalk lines.

Great, as usual. Find it fascinating to watch.

Pmsl at the 'Spider' hoist catching a 'Fish.' 😂😂😂😂

[@phillipbuckross4759]

I've been away for a while and not watched any of the progress of this build since week 28, I forgot how interesting it is to watch, now im back ive got a a lot of catching up to do!

Welcome back!

Another very interesting episode. Thanks again.

[@HospitalConstruction]

You're welcome!

[@silentepsilon888]

thanks for another great video and I think that bottle on the cart is actually a pre-mix of mustard and ketchup for those who like both on their hot dogs or burgers or blue fish for lunch, called Mustchup.

[@HospitalConstruction]

Yes, that must be it!

[@joebledsoe257]

The mustard is chalk line dust for refilling the chalk lines.

[@gtbproductions1]

@30:51 it's a bottle of red chalk for snapping lines

[@ShowCat1]

Loved the fish @ 17:40

[@josephbrennan4622]

Brilliant uploads. There is going to be fun when trying to put the Glass units into them frames,

[@HospitalConstruction]

Thanks. You'll start seeing that glass go in during Week 35.

[@josephbrennan4622]

@@HospitalConstruction I cant wait, Glass does not stretch like they had a tunicae across them frames, Great vids though.

[@noaman1976]

Thanks again for the vedio

[@celucelu4721]

Gracias son lo mejor

[@adrianobonaldo8941]

I see, they are installig the curtain wall with mullion and transom before and after the Glass, but now the modern system is to install the complete cw aluminin frame panel with Glass gaskets etc.

[@jonathanaldana4941]

It really depends on the company and how they bid for the job , I’ve noticed on high risers and bigger jobs it’s mostly unitized cw, while on mid rises and smaller jobs can be stick built

[@adrianobonaldo8941]

@@jonathanaldana4941 Yes could be.

[@klaascornelisdijkstra4765]

Still a great video. Can you tell more about the high of the building and time they expect it is ready.

[@constructionwatcher5381]

The height is given in the first line of description, right under the video.

[@emadeldinhessain3272]

Great.

[@moisesbarros4265]

🇧🇷🇺🇸I'm here.

[@Lumex1]

what is the purpose of the aluminum foil on the edge of the floor on ~8:10 ?

[@keneagle7684]

I would say to stop water getting into the concrete.

[@gilb6982]

it is a barrier between the aluminium and the concreete because the concreete corode the aluminium

[@nashguy207]

You need to come setup some cameras here in Nashville construction is booming i bet there is 25 to 30 projects with 1 or to 2 sky cranes on every building being built

[@user990077]

That crane is a castrato. This why its called the UNIC SYPDER crane

[@bigbassmaniac]

That’s not mustard or ketchup it’s a refill container for the chalk line reels that are used

[@brianweber4154]

WO I didn't know you were part of right said fred. Singing. Crack on

[@gilb6982]

Bahhhhh ! it was only a little fish !

[@mariocorleone106]

That's a bottle off red chalk

[@robb5834]

And must get close to crane now driver going up lol

[@antovador]

If I am not wrong, still 3 floors or stories to top out.

[@docugraf]

18:35 why is the spider crane always backsided to it's working area?

[@matthewanderson2373]

I would assume its counter-weighted on one fixed side instead of like a normal crane where the weights are on the turret that spins always on the opposite side of the load.

[@myconstructionwork]

hello colleagues

[@michasleziak1506]

[@benfranken15]

Keep on fishing.....

[@audiotron1003]

Any idea, what that tower is for at the top left hand side of the building is for? It's in the mid distance.

[@HospitalConstruction]

I assume you're referring to Sutro Tower, which can be seen in the distance on the left. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sutro_Tower

[@Slapjabber]

What are the two addresses of this building and the hospital from 2015/16?

[@berndfreier2798]

[@robb5834]

What is foil for?

[@michaelfagan2086]

Helps seal the curtain wall against the concrete.

[@newsnowfresno6873]

The foil is actually a self adhesive butyl rubber like material bonded to thick foil. The green material they apply before hand is an adhesion enhancer. Note how the different sections of foil are applied to enhance runoff and not trap water, overlapping like shingles on a roof.

I have a photo of what it looks like now.
