I'm inclined to believe the excavator was photoshopped into that photograph. However, I'm willing to be convinced otherwise.

That is absolutely incredible! You couldn't get me to run one of those excavators on top of a building for all the tea in china! (Pun intended!)

Well, the link you provided explains it all. 8O I'm convinced. However, I agree with Stew. I wouldn't run a rooftop excavator for all the tea in China.

Interesting read. About how the buildings sometimes last only a year. And to think, our government here envies the way they get to do things in China.

Didn't the Chinese invent gun powder?

I think explosives would be much more efficient.

Yes you need to read the writing on one of the links, apparently this is the cheaper solution.

I wouldn't have wanted to catch that manhole cover.

That little guy has spirit! I can't figure out what he was doing with the stick welder, though.

That's a very peaceful ad for a water pump. It's a brilliant idea, and I can see the use in agriculture or even small fire fighting. It makes me wonder if I could adapt a turbo housing.

Thanks for the vids.
