Going up!


Our neighbors across the street are building up their third floor, so this massive crane moved onto the street last week to help get materials up to the roof. You see these cranes frequently around Haarlem for all kinds of building projects. A lot of the time they are used to lift materials right over top of the houses and down into the back yard.

We’re going to have to order one next spring for when we redevelop our back garden. We’re putting in a new flagstone patio, a built in BBQ and fire-pit, and a couple of new trees.

The operator of this crane was top-notch. He manipulated the hydraulic arm like it was an extension of his body. Pretty cool to watch!
