    Many people jacking up a building - GIF

    Many people jacking up a building. This is a great metaphor for China's industrial economic boom over the past decade.

    Timing is everything...sound was on. I like the supervisor with his hands behind his back...what's he going to do if someone gets out of sync.

    They would've started weeks earlier; but 20 ton jacks weren't on sale yet.

    Using so many is a good work-around, sans availability of normal millwrights. If me, I'd also rather pull down on two jack handles than one.
    I'm thinking this is some type of community project, maybe couldn't get commercial monetary support.


    And next GIF... WTF's about excavator traffic jam? All kinds joke fodder there. "Don't just commute; support the regime and build a road/ strip mine/ freeway interchange on the way to work! or "Christo and Jeanne-Claude's latest kinetic art project"
