    That's ridiculous, I wouldn't stand under that without a 300 foot pole.

    I sure would like to see more detail, that wall is huge, is it just part of an assembly of huge walls sections. What are they building a dam?

    I'll await his forehead slap when the engineer arrives; CAD drawing improperly oriented, wall supposed to be on edge...

    How are a handful of guys supposed to hand position this, when the norm is tending lines from the corners?

    A towering frame — made out of rebar? For some kind of massive slip-form concrete monolith? Or did the engineer forget to tell 'em — it's supposed to go sideways? And they're trying to set it in it's concrete bed — which doesn't look to be that deep — by hand?

    And who's the guy gets to stand back and 'plumb it' by eyeball? I want to see the 'After' pics on this!
