Dante Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Could be sun reflection? Who knows? https://www.citizenfreepress.com/breaking/notre-dame-fire-person-moving-and-flash-on-the-roof/ In the comments section below someone posted a 2-year-old link about how much disrepair Notre Dame was in. When reading that article it struck me how much workmanship has actually declined over the centuries. The repairs done a couple of hundred years ago was done cheaply. Fast forward to 2017 and it seemed like the French government barely gave a shite. More worried about cucking to invading hordes than preserving their own culture.

Deranged Rhino Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Early reports coming in that the cause of the fire in Notre Dame was a "computer glitch". In which case - my stink eye goes WAY up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or better yet, there’s 1000s of HGTV shows and DIY blogs on how to make sh***y faux beams from Home Depot pine with a pin nailer and minwax.

snafu Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Maybe they’ve got the old ice boom timbers laying around. They were 30 feet long each. They were used for just over 25 years, and they’ve been out of use for almost 25. https://www.ijc.org/en/all-about-lake-erie-niagara-river-ice-boom-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 The POINT is not the age of the materials, but that the "inclusive" ideas that have been suggested are quickly shot down. Restore the Catholic Cathedral to its former glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
