It was Woolies headquarters and main store. I think it was about 5 or 6 storeys, yellow brick, vaguely deco. It was a loss but not a big loss.

Though John Martins-Manteiga made it out to be a big loss, as the keynote to his Clearcut catalogue a decade ago--yeah, a mountain out of a molehill, but it's all part of the foundation to Dominion Modern...
 
Instead of buying a trump condo why not just buy a pile driver? Intimidate your neighbours by showing off your new "toy!" It would be hilarious thinks I.

Just doing a bit of research did you know Leonardo da Vinci may have invented the pile driver? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pile_driver

"A modern diesel pile hammer is a very large two-stroke diesel engine. The weight is the piston, and the appparatus which connects to the top of the pile is the cylinder. Piledriving is started by having the weight raised by auxiliary means - usually a cable from the crane holding the pile driver - which draws air into the cylinder. The weight is dropped, using a quick-release. The weight of the piston compresses the air heating is to the ignition point of diesel fuel. Diesel fuel is added/injected into the cylinder. The mixture detonates, transferring the energy of the falling weight to the pile head, and driving the weight back up. The rising weight draws in more fuel-air mixture, and the cycle starts over until the fuel runs out or is stopped by the pile crew."

Yikes! That sounds environmentally responsible! I reckon any green benefits to a trendy condo are far surpassed by the pollutants released during construction!

Or are they using the latest technology here to mitigate noise? A Vibratory Pile Driver/Extractor--a vibrator used to construct dildos?;)
