The construction of the building across the street is still going on. We have no idea how many floors it will be or what the building will be used for. But now we can see there will be a garage under it and the stairs are close to the street.

I am quite amazed at how little steel they use inside the concrete pillars here. Makes me feel a bit unsafe. I am not an engineer, so I am not going to claim I know even the slightest bit about what is needed. I have just seen buildings in Norway and how they stuff the whole pillars full of steel. A huge difference.

The support system they use here is also a bit different. Wood. But I have seen something similar in Asia where they used bamboo. I guess if it works for them it is ok.

So far the construction work has not been too annoying. The street is a one way street and that probably helps when they have big trucks in here. It only creates a mess on one side They start at 07.00 in the morning, but the only sound now is a little hammering and the occasional cutting of steel.

 I will keep posting pictures of the construction here as it grows. It is interesting to see a different way of doing things.
