Amerikaner83 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 So I saw this on another forum I frequent and I figure it would be a disservice to not share this. This is quite possibly one of the best marvels of modern Engineering as we know it today. Anyone in the construction industry or building fields should take this up as a case study of what classic beauty, art, and functionality can be accomplished with modern day engineering tools and practices. http://www.bcsportbikes.com/forum/showthread.php/146566-Build-to-Fail-Fail-to-Build.-What-is-this-I-don-t-even.....?s=fa64f3b3061d9962c0a5094d05361146'>Link for Engineering Marvel Please pay special attention to pages 7 and 17, and watch the time-lapse videos of the construction in action. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savoir Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Being in the construction industry ......... this made my teeth ache.I would hesitate to make a case study of the architecture involved in this build however, it does resemble some of the plans I've seen architects present to my clients.

usagi555 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Wow, and I thought it was bad because I was too lazy to apply the extra coat of mud required to make everything just right on one of the corners when I remodeled my laundry room because it was going to be hidden by cabinets and a washing machine anyway. That thing is epic, and I'm wondering how long until it falls over. Seriously, when looking at the "trusses," I'm amazed that anybody was willing to get up on the roof to nail down the OSB.

Flyerfan Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 That is a fabulous disaster! Love it. I hope he's making blueprints as he goes. I'd love to build one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kutuzov Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 That's an epic fail, reminds me of the 3 pigs ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
