Reference question for the day: Can you identify what type of bird this is?

Update: According to Wild Care in Marin and Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy in San Francisco, this is a Red Tail Hawk, possibly a female.

Lots of Scaffolding and Metal Framing

Metal Framing is less expensive, fire resistant, and termites can't eat it.

The cement floor in our restrooms.

Notice the different level in height between the restrooms and the main floor of the library. The main floor will rise to the height of the restrooms, once the electric wiring, ducts, and heating are in place.

Ingenuity in the Construction Industry

Notice the front tires of the Cement Pump truck are not touching the ground?

Notice the Concrete Pump truck is being held up by these Outriggers?

Each cubic yard of concrete weighs approximately 3500 pounds. When it flows through the pump, the weight of the concrete is enough to pop the tires or tip the concrete pump on its side. As a safety measure they use the outriggers to prop the pump up and avoid catastrophe.
