Building site

This is a simulcast because of the business ideas in it.

 

Outside my hotel room this week I have been treated to the spectacle of a building site. Whatever the building is going to be, they finished laying the foundations at the start of the week and they have been working like ants ever since.

 

I watched them delivering and pouring concrete JUST IN TIME. Then watched as they have built things, laid things, moved things by crane. I am also interested in how they are storing things.

 

There are a couple of safety engineers and others with me this week and they are aghast at the way there are no rails, barriers, guards ... like what there would be elsewhere!

 

As Jerome K Jerome said, I love work I could stand and watch it for hours. I always thought that should have said, I could SIT and watch it for hours; but who am I to correct such a genius?

 

I have taken a couple of photos and really hope that I will be on this side of the hotel when I come back next week.

 

QUESTION: what does the K stand for in Jerome K Jerome. First to answer wins a prize.
