That might help explain why the average life span of a construction worker in those days was only 34.

Excellent post, indeed. I love #35 & 36. They certainly deserve a monument for their huge contribution.

I'd see 'construction' workers in Pakistan doing similar antics out of necessity...and always recognized how silly they looked - like ignorant peasants making do. I guess it was the same in the US in the 20s an 30s. No doubt the average American will hold these guys as the real heroes and government regulations as namby pamby rules. Save yourself, start thinking harder.
