It’s not quite the view I love, but man, the Capitol Dome Restoration Project and it’s miles of scaffolding are impressive. Some numbers about said scaffolding to ponder, courtesy of the Architect of the Capitol:

  • 1.1 million lbs. weight of scaffold
  • 75,000+ pieces of equipment
  • 52 miles of scaffold pipe
  • 2 miles of decking, enough to build a sidewalk 5 feet wide x2 miles long from the US Capitol to the Lincoln Memorial
