Mario found it a lot harder to reach Donkey Kong in his holiday getaway
lol My first thought was about Donkey Kong, too!!!
Yes, has to be Mario LARP.
Talk about your bad ideas….
“How high can you get?” LOL
Peppy was not aware of the other meaning of his catchphrase…
What you don’t see in this pic is the overweight Italian plumber standing at the bottom of the scaffold.
God, I wish I could say I’ve never seen or done anything that stupid or unsafe while working on a construction job.
But … I can’t. At least he’s got the barrel chocked so it can’t roll, I guess, and he’s not using like a 6 inch grinder or some other face-ripping-off power tool?
is he wearing an OSHA approved safety turban?
Turban? I thought it’s a bandage…
(he had an accident already on the project!!!)
I think I would have turned the barrel on end; or build something out of wood to add To the scaffolding
Perhaps he will turn it on end to reach the rest of the job – after all, if he placed it upright now, he would then have to stand on it while bending low to dress the stones he is presently working on… which would be an, ah, less favorable arrangement.
I hope this worked out for him. That plant underneath him looks particularly uncomfortable to fall on.
Painting the facade green afterwards and voalá, a rectangular lizard!
Btw.. if we check carefully there are some blocks of wood or something which would stop the barrel from rolling… oopz
What’s up with that board hanging at an angle under the end of the drum?
Besides the possibility that he might lose his footing on the curved surface of the drum, or the drum might not be fully held by the chocks, notice that the near-end scaffolding has been made level and secure (?) by rocks placed under the legs.
Nothing says victory in Afghanistan like seeing the Cirque du Soleil starting to build a venue there.
Love your comment!
That man is only two adjustments away from having a working catapult.
Is the title a reference to Star Fox? Quick, Fox, do a barrel roll!
I think it is… good game!
I just like the siding he is putting up. Got to remember that. Now for the concrete block house.
This became a good idea only after this guy drank all of the beer in the keg he’s standing on.
I don’t know what’s worse: the fact that he’s using a barrel to work on a roof, or that if he slips off it and falls, he’ll fall onto what appears to be horrible spikes of bloody death.
only in good old South Africa
Yeah I was going to say the same thing.. has to be South Afica
tap z twice to do a barrel roll!
This guy likes to rock and roll
I can see Super Mario, but where’s Donkey Kong?
When he’s done fiddling with the wall he will move to the tin roof.
for some reason this reminds me of Donkey Kong.
Drum roll, please.
Testimony from the construction worker: “Everything was going well until the earthquake.”
in the development phase: “….And that’s how we came up with Donkey kong!” Close but no princess! but it was also confirmed that Donkey kong was afraid of heights.
ok..I see the gorilla, I see the barrel, but where is Mario and the princess??
After Mario married the princess he decided to build a little house for themselves in the country.
