A Builder's Invention

There is an amazing amount of new and continued building constructions going up all around Skopje. Blink a second too long and a new building will have replaced your favorite store. One day you're buying coffee from a corner shop, the next day the existing building is torn down, and on the next day the foundation for a new one is laid and rebar delivered. Blink.

Living in an apartment building in the city center I get somewhat of a birds-eye view of the construction process. The other day I looked out and saw this nifty invention quickly hammered out to hold the worker's coats, bags and lunches. The guys even have a plastic tarp ready to go if rain is forecasted. Pretty smart... and makes for a fun picture too. :)

Side note: notice how amazingly close the new building's foundation is to the old one??? yikes!
