One of Scott Zelenak's crew ?

I think that might be where Scott explained to me that one of the problems was that it's a very complicated curved structure where everyone: surveyors, engineers, architects, fabricators in the US and elsewhere and carpenters, is using different measurement units. They are using: Decimal feet, Feet inches and fractions, Inches and fractions, Inches and decimals, Meters, Decimeters, and Millimeters. Maybe something else, too. Add in the tolerances specs. and if something doesn't fit, it's a problem.

Differing measurement units seems to be a problem only in America - the rest of the planet is metric 🙂

Originally supposed to cost under $2 billion, estimates are now at (and unofficially over) $4 billion.

This does not include the cost of repairs due to Hurricane/TS Sandy, which topped $350 million, which will be paid out of insurance and Sandy Aid funding. Over 125 million gallons of water wound up in the bathtub, coming to knee high on PATH train platforms.

By way of comparison, the cost of building Grand Central Terminal, adjusted for inflation, was $2 billion ($80 million in 1913 dollars).
