I've seen a garage that had 4 walls turned into climbing walls. The sides, back and ceiling were built up with framing and plywood and hand holds. None of the vertical walls were vertical, they were all angled so you were climbing slightly upside/down and they were at different angles including one wall being split into two angles.

Not the place that I was talking about.

The greatest number of casualties and wounds were inflicted by artillery, followed by small arms, and then by poison gas.

The United States was also unique in that - due largely to the epidemic - almost half of the losses occurred in training camps in the homeland rather than on the battlefields of Europe. The United States consequently lost more soldiers and sailors to disease than in combat, with 53,402 battle deaths and 63,114 non-combat deaths.[6]

Back in the day of my youth (1971) when I worked at the Ford Motor Company assembly plant in Kansas City, I had the fun job of unloading a railroad car full of tires packed in such a manner. Took me half a day to unload two tires at a time. Two at a time from the railroad car to a 10 foot cart towed by an electric tow vehicle. Stacked them the same way on the cart.

And I found the invoice for the load of tires. Back in that day, $2.00 each. But then Ford would buy thousands.
