Didn’t Spain just build submarines that could not go to sea?
Having worked with many nationalities, the only ones I would trust with a bridge would be the Germans.
The company I worked for, contracted to manage a newly built hotel in Puerto Vallarta, Mex, where the builder forgot the 2nd floor, where all of the offices were to be located.. I got down there only to discover the problem..
Another hotel in Guatemala, decided to put a swimming pool on the roof, after the property was finished with construction, but before it opened.. The pool construction went ok, but when they started to fill the pool, the roof floor collapsed, alerting everyone to escape in time to watch the building come down in a pile of rubble.. LOL
This thread is useless without pictures.
In Baltimore, they are building an express toll road parallel to the highway (idiots) It looks like something got really screwed up. Suddenly, a section that appeared done suddenly had huge cranes and equally huge holes dug in the fresh asphalt.
No word on why.
CGI Federal wins yet another major contract.
Years ago, an old guy owned an empty lot across from his house. The city decided to build a new firehouse, and this looked like a good place. It had been vacant for many years.
The old guy watched day after day until the firehouse was up and running.
Then he went to the city and said, ‘That’s my lot’. I don’t know how it ended. It was east coast, so probably not good for the old man.
Where is your imagination? You picture things in your head. Maybe they don't teach that in public schools just look at your phone. geese.
I had to read it to find out what was in it :)
Thanks!
“Ted Kennedy, paging Ted Kennedy. You’re wanted on the Bridge Help Line.”
Oh, my. Your description of your town’s main road construction is the funniest thing I’ve read in a long time!
Misleading title. Upside down, no! misaligned, yep.
There are elevated aqueducts that ‘Italians’ built in France and Britain almost 2000 years ago that are still standing.
Jerry ‘Moonbeam’ Brown is going to want one of those now.
Saw a few hundred trees lining a boulevard in Italy. Every other one was dead. I asked a local and he said, “The workers planted every other tree sapling upside down in the hope they would be called back to replant the dead ones.”
The govt decided that the trees were OK more widely spaced and didn’t bother to tear out the dead ones to spite the workers, who were locals.

What, did they shrink when they got wet?
