Re: Mutual of Omaha Tower (14th & Farnam)

Thanks for the info. I was wondering how that was possible. I know the big 5-story parking garage in Aksarben took months to assemble. I was wondering how all this could be done in a shorter time. Either way, still excited to see it grow. https://media.tenor.com/xS9rmU-bfIUAAAAC/thats-what-she-said...
