These guys had decided to build an awesome tree house and made a detailed photo record of every step of the construction process.
Check out the awe-inspiring technological and architectural wonders of the modern world.

These old photographs show how New York’s skyscrapers were built and how dangerous the work of construction workers was.
If you are looking for a new house to live in, you can always build one of your own. Take a look at this earthbag building guide that explains superadobe construction method in Argentina. It’s not that expensive!

The doomed ship was built in Belfast over a three-year span and these impressive black and white images show just how colossal an undertaking it was.
Stretching 840 feet above and across the Colorado River and nine years in the making, these stunning images prove man’s ingenuity. This architectural wonder is a sight to behold and was finished in late 2010.
Hurghada is a city in the Red Sea well known for providing access to many uninhabited offshore reefs and islands. One of their specialities is yacht construction; and they are doing quite a good job :)
The manufacturing process is shown inside the post.
You definitely need to see this work. This should have been a power station fundament. Good luck with that. I wouldn’t like them to build my future house.
Never saw how a boat is being built.
In this post, you can get aquatinted with the building process.
This is the world's first full-sized house built from Lego.
And as its creator promised, the house won’t be empty, he will move there and will live in the house for some time.
A funny story happened in China.
Residents of one village were against a construction in a nearby canyon.
When construction machinery arrived there, one of the villagers left his car at the top of the canyon to protest.
That did not stop the construction team.
Guys razed everything to the ground, except the place where the villager left his car and now he’s thinking how to get it out from there.
Sometimes such things happen accidentally, but in most cases because of human stupidity.
What you’ll see inside the post is beyond the notion of ‘normal’ but from the other hand, it can be extremely funny ;)
The incident occurred in the United States. One worker who worked on an excavator got fired on Friday.
Sunday morning on this construction site, his chief could see such picture.
They really pissed him off
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...
Leonid Moulyarchik who lives in the small Russian town Lebedyan, decided to build the subway for local residents.
Work has been already underway since 1984 and he built everything by himself. On average, a day is required to dig one meter and 3 days to cement it.
The idea is that there will be a cart carrying 3-4 people.
I hope that his dream will come true one day.
Look at photos of a very hard work inside the post.
The day before yesterday morning, the Morakot typhoon hit Taiwan, one of the most powerful typhoons ever to hit Asia.
On the photos, you will see a six-story hotel that collapsed into a river because of the typhoon.
People were not injured as they were evacuated from the hotel even before the typhoon started.
A giant ‘monument’ has been erected in Bobruisk, Belarus and it seems that it’s a beaver.
There are no other details given so I can’t tell why it’s been built or other stuff.
So, just take a look at this giant construction after the jump to see how big it is.
The Chinese usually build everything very quickly. The truth is quickly doesn’t mean with quality, you probably remember the post about an apartment building that collapsed.
Well, here you’ll see how one of the Chinese intersections changed in just 5 month.
The planning of a building is a very serious thing, everything must be done to make it comfortable and pleasant to live.
And those who have a beautiful view from their balcony are very lucky, because we can not say the same about the residents of this apartment building.
Edit: It's in Indonesia.
Judging by the photos, it is one of the most dangerous professions in the world
Look for yourself.
Here’s how they do to build big parts of bridges.
What did really astonish me is the Monster Truck that transports it all!
