Leaning Tower?
I based my imagined plumb assuming that segment of roof is horizontal and the fence pole I was resting my camera against is vertical. Not that scientific, but close enough. It does seem to have a slight lean to the west, away from the sidewalk. It is such a web of wildly varied materials, that it is hard to say what may happen. I’m most worried about the western base, any sinking or rotting in those timbers could easily make it leans even further. But then again the massive eastern base could cantilever it, as there are so many interconnections. It is a woven structure, something a bower bird might build. This was around 9 this morning.

  1. When is it going to be taken down? Today? Its such a wonderful structure-

  2. Not sure C&C, I had heard yesterday or today, but it may have been postponed by the weather.

  3. yeah, i’d hope they wait for better weather.
    if they half ass start and don’t finish i could see it being a legitimate threat to safety if more wind storms came back through.
