Recently we have had the pleasure of a construction crew revving up their jack hammers, dump trucks and sledgehammers every morning at seven and not stopping their industrious endeavors until seven or eight at night. The city decided that every building along the river needs to have a peaked roof and unfortunately our buildings were not originally blessed with that feature. Learning about the Chinese building practices has been very interesting. First, the building is surrounded with scaffolding which is a pretty big job considering it is a six story building that is about 100 yards long and 20 wide. Then, elevator type things are installed, again using mostly scaffold like parts. And finally, the hammering begins!
Although there are signs up that say safty is the number one concern, it is a little disconserting seeing some of the warning signs posted around our complex. Take a look!
Beware of your safy, cranes lowering obects and falling workers
And, right above the enterence to our stairwell, "Do not stand here" and "Caution, falling object area"
Take care!
