He's worked on it steadily ever since and it's estimated to contain over 60 tons of junk. Featuring a hollow frame with which he's wrapped everything from old children's toys to bicycle parts, the cathedral is surprisingly structurally sound: it's been given the okay by several city engineers as safe for the public. http://www.flickr.com/photos/photomajik/3187548567/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/jerryhayesaustin/2320526288/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/laurasejud/3032561336/ Source: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/la/at-austin/the-cathedral-of-junk-austin--087157 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 04:32:33 GMT http://lohas.tribe.net/thread/76d80fc3-ae39-4d1c-a794-63af85cf61ef#38db7c12-54b8-4bcb-8a63-8da3ff9e5da9 Sinja 2009-06-16T04:32:33Z
