Thanks to DUers who helped out with erections not their own

[ForrestGump]

I think it's time we paid tribute to the construction workers of America, and the world, who too often put their very lives on the line to build edifices in which they may personally have very little stake.

Let's hear it, ladies and genit...gentlemen!

1. freaky

my Dad has that picture hanging up in his garage. Guess there was no OSHA then. Because I know this thread is all about safety regulations in construction work.

2. Yes, safety first. Bend your knees

to lift with ease, and all that. :hug:

I always wondered how, exactly, that photo was possible. Even with a super-wide lens. It just seems kind of impossible that any building could be so high that skyscrapers below look to be so far down.

Hi, Ms idgie... :loveya:

9. perhaps they were building The Empire State building

Yes, I would like to thank my in-laws who mostly built my front porch.

On the other hand, I donated some money to Sherrod Brown and also tried, in DU, to help defeat Lieberman, and elect Lamont.
