Workers dug a foundation pit for a new building, but the ground of the building just next to it has shifted forming numerous cracks in the asphalt and the walls of the building.
First, they cemented the cracks in the asphalt around the building but it did not help, then they put powerful metal beams to support the building.
I wonder if it will really help...

There’s one thing that isn’t clear – did they lack money to finish the construction?
Or maybe there is a very complicated idea behind all this? In short, there may be many versions.
And what do you think?

We already wrote about land war in China.
And this time the people who wanted to buy off the building have gone further. They decided to intimidate the tenants of this building. Look after the jump how did they do it.

That’s the crazy project of Gabriel (20) and Tiago (27) Primo, 2 brothers living in Rio de Janeiro - they are sleeping, working, eating, well… living on the side of a building 33 feet up in the air.
And that’s not just for a day, they’ve been doing that since the end of May and they plan to continue this weird adventure until August 20.
In fact, it’s a part of an art exhibit in Rio’s old center, and what an exhibition! You don’t see that everyday, so if you’re in Rio this summer, don’t forget to go and see this colourful living wall.
