I started this channel back in 2014 to cover the construction of a new hospital in San Francisco 12 stories high and an entire city block. For almost 5 years, I posted regular videos of that construction, both regular weekly, sometimes multiweekly, episodes as well as various other videos covering miscellaneous construction happenings along the way.

When I first started, I was just going to do simple, straightforward timelapses. But then I started throwing in some closeups, "sub timelapses" as I call them, and things kind of snowballed from there, and eventually over time the videos got more complex. Each episode contained a mixture of timelapses, closeups and sometimes even various happenings near the construction site that weren't really anything to do with the construction itself.

It ended up being 280 videos over 244 weeks lasting from June 2014 to March 2019.

Since that original series was covering the construction of a hospital, that's why the channel has the name it does. I called it "The Hospital Construction Channel" because that was originally going to be the only thing on this channel. When the construction of the hospital finished in early 2019, this channel went dormant, and I figured that was going to be it, the channel was done.

However, about a year later a new project started, about a block away from the hospital the construction of a 13story senior living facility. So, not a hospital, a senior living facility. That series went on for just over another 2 years with the same basic format of mostly weekly videos containing a mixture of timelapses and closeups.

It ended up being 93 videos stretching from February 2020 to April 2022.

To distinguish the second series of videos from the original hospital series, I called the new series covering the senior living facility the "S series" (as in S for senior) and started calling the prior hospital series the "H" series (H for hospital). Pretty clever, eh?

Since the "H Series" already existed before I came up with this naming scheme, you won't see the "H Series" name mentioned anywhere inside those older videos. The "S Series", however, was after I came up with the naming scheme, so you will see the "S Series" name mentioned in the newer videos. The older videos, it's just mentioned in places like the description, where I could change it.

If you go back and watch all the videos of either of the series in chronological order, which I highly recommend by the way, just not all at once it is not healthy to sit for that long, so take some breaks you can kind of see how they get more and more complex over time. And also my technical capabilities — editing, camera equipment, stuff like that, gradually improved over time as well... at least I hope they did.

Most of the videos have music, rather than narration. A few do have narration or original sound. A lot of the videos in the original "H Series" all use the same music in every episode, at least the weekly episodes, because that's what I could afford at the time in terms of music licensing costs that's what was available to me. If you watch the whole "H Series", understandably you may get a little tired of the same music all the time, so please... feel free to turn down the volume and listen to your own playlist while watching.

In the "S Series" I upped my game a little and I started licensing a wider variety of music. There was more music reasonably available to me, and I also spent more time syncing and choosing music that I thought matched. So you may find the music to be better in the "S Series". But as commenters are sure to remind me every now and then, not everyone appreciates my music choices, so please... feel free to turn down the volume and listen to your own playlist. There's a volume control there.

I'm not associated with the buildings or the construction companies in any way. I don't work for them, and they didn't hire me. I did this just as a hobby, just on my own, for entertainment, because it was interesting to watch the buildings going up. I hope the videos are interesting to you, too.

I'm not a construction expert by any means, so please forgive me if I got things wrong every now and then, called something by the wrong name, whatever. Any experts watching out there, feel free to chime in on the comments and educate us, correct me, whatever.

Now that both the H and the S Series have completed, this channel has once again gone dormant, as of the end of 2022. At this time, there are no plans for any new series, no plans for any new videos. But I guess you never know, anything could happen, I was surprised before. But right now, for now, this channel is once again dormant.

I hope you enjoy the channel!
