The McDonalds across from the Trump Tower is where you overhear all the current news on the construction status on the Trump International Hotel & Tower, Chicago. I was standing in line behind a construction worker with a bunch stickers on his helmet showing all the different buildings in downtown Chicago that he’s worked on.
Someone else in line asked him what floor they were on now. He replied, “15, but it’s really like floor 18, because three of the floors have machinery on them.” Then he said that according to the schedule they were eight days behind. He went on to explain that the schedule doesn’t give off days for for rain and bad weather conditions. So in his estimation to a “REAL” schedule taking into account random variables, they are actually 22 days AHEAD of schedule.
8 days behind or 22 days ahead, not bad. This city isn’t particularly well-known for coming in on time or under budget on projects. Millennium Park was 4 years late and millions of dollars over budget. I think The Donald will do better.
True dat. 4 years makes makes 8 days look really good.
i want to see this construction worker’s helmet with all the cool stickers of the buildings he worked on. I envy his pride.
It was really cool seeing all the different stickers. The stickers looked so official and standard, they looked tough. I shoulda remembered what he ordered too, so I could be tough like him. He probably snickered when he heard me order just a hamburger and a side salad with no dressing.
