Getting ready
Follow up:
Strapping the tank so the crane can pick it up
Rising
Rising……..wait a minute……
…..oh, someone finally gets the idea that a crane that is NOT higher than the building cannot possibly lift a tank on the rooftop.
10 points for him…..
…..while Mr. Brainy down here can only look in disbelief - Good job!

lol...that's funny. You'd think when heavy machinery is involved, they'd think that through better!

lol priceless. I image he said "noone will never build taller buildings than my crane" when he purchased it.

That is so funny. I wonder what they did in the end?

Not in Kuwait, Annie 
Yeah, Øyvind, or: I promise, my crane is tall enough......!
@Catherine, they stopped working with that crane.
I gotta go to our rooftop and see, if they have the tanks up there now.
But I think they do.
Must have gotten a new crane.
They don't care

Which is why, up until recently, these people lived in tents in the desert.

ROFL!!! I love how you took pics of the whole process

Oh I wonder what they did. They couldn't carry them up, I guess they got a bigger crane?

Wow Nicole, I am happy to see your *new* site is up and running! Congrats!The crane photos are hilarious!

Maybe they manufactured new tanks from scratch on the roof. Good work Shauna, in my opinion Nicole brings us many unique gems each week.

LOL, thanks everyone - you made me grin even bigger with your comments I will go up to the rooftop today and see if they managed to grow some tanks on theirs
