The Demise of a Naked Vault (picture heavy)

Wow! Cool story! That was a lot of rebar for sure!

Yep, there sure was a lot of rebar. The company doing the teardown (and the construction for what's replacing it) recycles absolutely everything, including the concrete. Right now they're putting in driveways and turn lane seperators, in spots that make sense. The traffic along there has always had problems with turns into businesses and side streets. They're developping the center median and even putting in lights on the median. The construction is an absolute pain in the rear right now, but when they get it finished it'll be a huge improvement. The site's owner and the tenants really put some thought into this, and are working on being good neighbors.

Wow, what a tangled web of rebar. Cool story/pictorial.

That was exactly my thought! That was very cool.... I had no idea.

Thanks, Iggy. Yeah, vaults are pretty seriously built. Add some mechanical timers (tiny gears, Swiss or German make) that ensures that even if you know the combination, you can't open the door before at least one of them runs out, and you understand why banks are robbed during business hours.
