Thank you for your pics.

I Googled this and found "The price tag is approaching $4 billion, almost twice the estimate when plans were unveiled in 2004. Administrative costs alone — construction management, supervision, inspection, monitoring and documentation, among other items — exceed $655 million." - New York Times
Hard to imagine...
Awesome!! and nuts at the same time...amazing.
