Question for Nanoose and Wahoo

[Wahoo]

Geez, Tinks, I'm terrified of heights! So I'll defer to my colleague, Nanoose, for an answer...if he's back from the Alfa Centaury galaxy yet...

[Nanoose]

Easy to build a 100 foot crane they use a 110 foot crane. Actually they start on the ground floor – the crane is built on a platform when the second floor is framed they use hydraulic jacks to raise it on to the top of the second floor – when the third floor is framed they repeat the process and so on and so on. Cheers!

They both knew each other in a past life

I agree Rose!! I'm trying to think of other questions to ask them. Although all I can think of is funny questions about women to ask Wahoo!!!

[Wahoo]

I seen a two-foot crane, but never one with 100 or 110 feet! I bet those suckers are fast and hard to catch!

[GhettoGurl]

They are no doubt the two smartest dudes alive!!!!!

Well why don’t you ask them how the massive stones where put in place at the top of the pyramids with out the aid of cranes? Cheers!

[Batty_gyal]

Oooh good question!! How did the massive stones get on top of the pyramids??

Oooh and you know that spinxy thing in egypt...the cat looking person pyramid?? What did they use to hold the sand togeather to shape the face?? AND...how did they get up there to shape the face AND keep the sand togeather without the sand collapsing and them dying??

Well they got the stones to the top of the pyramids with ramps they put them in place with springy poles. I could effortlessly lift a Buick of the ground by my self with 8 wooden springy poles. Not sure about the sphinx thing though. Cheers!

Nano if that is correct than how did they build the world's biggest crane?:D

My son asks me these questions all the time and I just answer from the bottom up.... I am such a smart mama

[Wahoo]

With lots of slave labor...

First of all, I could be be wrong, but I don't think that cat looking person thing is a sand sculpture, like the nekkid ladies and other sand sculptures people make at the beach. I suspect it was chiseled out of a natural geologic sandstone formation, or constructed (again, more slave labor) out of blocks of sandstone and then carved. Just a guess.

[Wahoo]

I hads to know the answers about the Sphinx myself, so I peeked in Wikipedia and learned that it wasn't a natural sandstone formation, but rather was constructed of blocks of low-grade limestone quaried and transported to the site from someplace else...by whom and how long ago are answers forever lost to the swirling mists of antiquity.

[Wahoo]

If I had been the grand architect, the Sphinx would be a nekkid lady.

So how do they get that big concrete block on the back?

Here is a link to some imfo on tower cranes. Cheers!
