That is pretty impressive. I am in the heavy construction industry so it always blows my mind the things they were able to design and build with the equipment they had was very impressive.

That’s a lot of 80 pound bags of quickrete.

Several pics in there I had not seen before, great post! I like looking at the way it used to be. Now if I am above 6′ I have to be tied off and in some cases have a chin strap on my hard hat.
