Over the last few days, I did a cleanup of different magazines I receive from around the world which relate to construction. Interesting articles can be found within, which I never have time to read, but sometimes I stop to look at recent developments in our industry.

As its name implies, the rain water pillow is a big 10’ x 10’ pillow which gathers up to 1000 gallons of water.
