Highrise Tower Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 My mom went to Hawaii for a week. She sent me these pictures. She knew I like highrises so it was sort of a joke. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I wish I could find my pictures from Bangkok, where the scaffolding on high rise construction was all wood or bamboo lashed together. I guess it works, but it looked pretty scary. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollusk Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 ^^ Of course, the world over all of the major cathedrals, temples, tall viaducts, etc., etc. were built with some sort of plant based staging until ~150 years ago... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that horrifying bamboo scaffold with little to no planking being all over Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur. EDIT: I couldn't find the scaffold, but enjoy this OSHA-approved brick throwing line in KL. Edited March 16, 2020 by JBTX 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highrise Tower Posted July 21 Author Share Posted July 21 Linda recently got married to Mark. Baylor College of Medicine removed his tumors but they actually grew back! Mark took these skyscraper and skyline pictures during their European trip. To be honest, he's a nature photographer that travels to Africa to take photos of wildlife. Here's the pics he texted me.
