Please...strip.

Apparently the deligthful green mesh and bamboo scaffolding are supposedly due to come down on April 14. That's what the latest notice in the lift said yesterday anyway. Mind you, it was April Fool's Day. And it has supposedly been coming down each month, for the past 5 months. The hold up, as per April Fool's Day notice, is the 2,024 defects they've found in the external tiling work of the building. Gives you confidence, no? Let's hope that part was a joke. 

As a result of said defects, we have had a significant increase in spider men, of late. From 9am to 5pm, these guys scale the building. Just wearing a jumpsuit, rubber shoes and a hard hat. Hard core safety gear, you know, in case they fall. No need for a harness. I mean, they're only 36 floors up. 



Here's hoping on April 14 our building will finally get her gear off and give us that long-awaited strip show we've been waiting all these months for. We've paid good money, she better perform....

These guys could have their own blog "Sight Unseen - Tales of a Modern Highrise in Hong Kong".

The last photo looks like the guys actually in the room climbing out!

Creepy!

I'm getting panicky just looking at the photos, Tai Tai. I couldn't even bring myself to jump off the high dive board at school....
