OHAS .... not in Lima

Dad, u will love this one.
we we're walking down to the coast and came past a new construction zone from an apartment, but freaked out at the local lack of safety procedures :)

support beams are simple slabs of local timber branches. no scaffolding to be seen. no protective barriers, the truck has to even be jacked up to pump concrete up to the top level lol.

some crazy stuff happens around here. things you just shake your head at and go ... this aint Perth. but you know in a way thats what you want. you want to open your eyes to things, something different, reminds you theres more to this big ol world. yet its small in the fact that everyone still eats, shops, works, the same as the rest of us.

funny u say that.
from the past earthquakes they have rebuilt their major cathedrals 2 or 3 times over. they realised that stone was too heavy and unstable. they've now started to remake major historical buildings with wood and plaster. flexible walls.
