BF5T8551.jpg

My wife occasionally gets upset in the way that "why do you publish such an awful picture ?" I certainly guess that this one would be a prime target for such a comment.

Just look at this mess... The art of modern ruins, where these light structures collapse very quickly when the heating is turned off. Well, in this case there has probably been a bit of support from the local kids. But, nevertheless, instead of rigid structures, the inner ceiling is just made of fiber plates, held up with light steel ribs. As the moisture gets in, these plates collapse and all insulation falls down with it. The under side of the roof is now visible - that is just made with corrugated steel.

Ugly, indeed... But I don't plan to listen to my wife just for that :)
