Specific Remove background

[Harrisen]

Can someone please remove the background from this image and leave just the factory? The crane on the right doesn't matter as I think it will still look okay without it.

Thank you.

Here is the exact image without the background sky with original border intact. The background sky is seen as White here but it is actually a transparent background.

I noticed you missed 2 spots by the crane /trees area and the corner of upper dormer where it meets lower building fyi (no criticism here) just some helpful tips

Also at the top of the taller stack.

Thanks @iDad and @IamSam.

I can see you like a challenge, now try clipping out the crane grid itself.

I discovered the Quick Mask tool recently and in conjunction with Shift-Clicking, it offers a powerful way to select parts of the image with a lot less effort.
In order to make the No-Crane possible, I had to plant a few trees along the horizon.

I think iDad was using an older phrase referring to a clipping mask. He was challenging you to actually remove the background from the Crane's framework, not to remove the Crane entirely.

Ah, now I see @iDad was trying to pull my leg.

I could actually attempt that if the OP needed it. I think if I just draw the crane arm myself it may be hard to make out on the Greyscale image.
