So we're getting a gym at our school (yay!). And it's finally up. But in an unusual way. I wish I would've taken pictures. But I don;t have a phone I could sneek out and my camera is to big and noticable. So I'll give you a timline.

3 weeks ago, some dudes made hollow flat boxes with rubarb in it. Like you would see when anyone puts concrete down. The weird thing is, none of these pieces seemed to match or look anything liek a normal foundation or floor would. Plus, they all had about 2 feet of rubard stitcking out from each side, spaced out every 1 foot.

2 weeks ago, a cemet pump truck and a bunch of concrete trucks came and filled up the flat boxes. Nothing still seemed to match. Nobody cut off the extra rubarb.

Today, a giant crane came in and put it self in teh center of all those pieces. Then it lifted them up,one by one! It turns out, in teh rubarb, there were also two poles on hinges that were suposed to act like stands. So the crane would lift up a piece, then two guys would move the poles so they coudl suport teh floor/wall. The crane would put teh new wall down.
It would continue doing this. And the rubarb that stuck out acted like joints. They were all connected to each other from teh diffrent peices.

So nwo we have a sorta gym thing that has spaces in between walls that's only very slightly covered by rubarb.
 
I think they built that in a similar way to a Disney resort. In that they built the framework and rooms seprately, and then used a crane to move them together! :teeth:
 
Yes. And it's spelled "rhubarb".

:D

Anyone here ever had rhubarb pie? Mmmmmmm...

What's rhubarb doing in a building? Wouldn't it rot and get all icky? :confused3
 

rhubarb and rubarb are totally diffrent. Rhubarb is a vegtable/ fruit thing. Rubarb is a think metal wire.

Pokemon: The contemporary was built at a steel frame with no rooms. The rooms were built off-site as moduals that had furniture, plumbing, etc... installed.They were trucked over to teh contemporay where a crane then lifted those moduals into place.

Not like my gym.
 
k, now i understand........ before i was like "well, what are they gonna do if it rains and they're whole building is made or plants??? and what if the plants die??" but now, i totally get it! thanks!
