Look it up! The Empire State Building was built in one year and 47 days with horse carts and hand tools. Our capabilities have atrophied to a point of ridiculousness.

If you have ever been to the Beverly Cummings Center they have pictures with stories about how that building was built. Same situation,no cement trucks, built by hand in a very short time. Most of the time,today,too much time is lost in planning.
