Very cool.

Out of curiosity, did you do any structural tests or design before building
it or did you just slap it up?

I used to slap things together, but as they got bigger, they would become
way too unstable, so now I at least think about building a solid foundation.

I built a far more whimsical version of the eiffel tower.  You can see it
here:

There are some other shots on the web site of it, but I think you can see it
the best in that picture.

I hope you recognize and enjoy it.  It was a challenge.

I will have another picture up later today.
