Redneck Condo!
What Do You Do
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Redneck Condo!
That was built as a stage for something. Snopes knows all!
Is it pathetic that I acually want to see the inside of that, and connect the trailers? That would be so cool!

Re: What Do You Do
That's strangely cool. It looks like a redneck version of the Mesa Verde cliff dwellings..
Re: What Do You Do
That would be cool if they showed Kodak this. They could make this into a puzzle. :)

By odd coincidence, this was Snopes' "From the Archive" for today.

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Big Fat Hairy Deal! The Contemporary and Polynesian were built that way back in 1971.

I saw presentation on how cabins were built into a cruise ship. They were prefabed on shore and slid into place once the hull was finished.
Another system I watched was a 25 story building that had each floor built at ground level. Once the floor was complete, it was raised by cables and glued into place.

Those trailers look like I wouldn't want to sneeze while inside. I can imagine what a fair-sized earthquake would do to all that. Trailers are the absolute worst kind of housing. They're firetraps, plus they don't hold up at all in hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, or earthquakes.
