30-Story Building Built in China in Only 360 Hours

I don’t know what it is with the Chinese and lightning fast building, but we ran a story a couple of years ago about a very similar construction project. In any case, this is an impressive achievement on any level. Ignoring the fact that the building is pre-fab, doing anything on this scale in 15 days is a knockout. Earthquake resistant, energy efficient and built quickly; what’s not to like?

It's waterproof and has a multi-color light inside that makes it just about the perfect toy for your household pets.
