Lift that house

On Thursday 3 April 2014, as I turned onto Westminster Road, in Cedarhurst, I saw these trucks:

I thought back to when our house in Chichester had to be jacked up, to have the foundation fixed. Never saw that, just the before and after.

And yesterday, Thursday 10 April 2014, I saw this, the end result of the lifting; but, clearly, more remains to be done.

2nd Avenue subway

These are magnificent shots of the Second Avenue subway tunnel being built under New York streets.

The machine will run in three 24-hour shifts every week, said William Goodrich, program executive with the MTA. It will dig through to East 63rd Street by November of 2011 at which time crews will reassemble it to dig on the Eastern tunnel.

Crews will start work on the eastern side of the tunnel in November of 2011.
