Yes stayed busy with the house.I started clearing the last bedroom out now.Carpet and underlay is going to fly out into the backyard soon :) A lot of things were taken out when they learned of the fire first thing.

The fire started in the attic area, which is made of wood. It could be an electrical short started the fire. But so nice, people/ companies have donated millions to help do the repair. But main problem is getting enough lumber from huge trees to replace the roof. Surprisingly the cathedral is about 800 years old , and survived war and other events.

I knew you had to be super busy in RL. When your done there can you create imaginary wood kitchen cabinets for me, LOL Gosh I sure wish!

Yeah all of the relics were gotten out I heard-thank goodness! At least the main structure is still standing even if it was gutted. I wonder how badly the fire damaged the interior stonework and statues or if they can be saved as well.

I think it's wonderful that so many companies and individuals have pledged to help with the restoration, but it's a shame that it takes something like this to make us pull together and get along. We can't get along when things are going well, what does that say about us as a species?

Wish you were closer to my place :) Yes it was 856 yrs old. Amazing gothic building.

There some pictures out already of the scorched inside.

It's a real heart breaker, but thank goodness that the exterior is still standing:)

I want cabinets made with wood, none of that pressed wood they charge an arm, leg and a quarter section of land for. I must have a lazy Susan! Loved them and got attached to them since I was 7 years old. We visited my Dad’s parents and I sat on the floor, and kept spinning Grandma’s lazy Susan.

I have a full set of oak kitchen cabinets in the garage.If i was staying longer i would install them/sell them.

I truly hope it was just an accident. I am disgusted by the thought that someone would damage such a beautiful monument on purpose.

My thought too.Sad thing to see just as well.

nods At least there's hope to rebuild.

A lot of money is already there for the repairs.

I heard that somewhere.

so sad about the cathedral burning, but for the relics getting saved and for those huge donated to rebuild. @ bcsam I think I am going turn green with envy!!! Oak they will last forever, oh I can imagine the fresh wood smell. One of my top favorite smells.

thank you ...i love the heart cup of cappuccino and another delightful plushie they will never growold for us :):) you havent to far to go som your house so you go man go...although i wish you someone to help.

.i reminded him that he signed up with me for roleplaying and puzzles in it. will let you know if he answers tonight or tomorrow ~.

thank you kindly for the lottery tickets

I wonder what the heat of the fire did to the integrity of the stone. I am still shocked at the pictures of Notre Dame that I have seen. How ever on earth will the humans rebuild such a thing as ancient and massive and intricate as that? It is like a massive ocean liner carved from stone and timbers and lead and copper. But almost as if it were knit, or crocheted by the Maker Himself....mindboggling.

It most definitely could have been worse. I heard that there were 2000 people in the cathedral when the fire broke out!

Thank you so much! Tell him I am shaking my finger at him like a school teacher. Amazing they got out especially no one knows when it started. They still have craftsmans in different fields all over Europe that do that kind work. I have traveled and lived in Germany. I have been in Italy, France and Greece love the architecture. So they have many people that still have knowledge of working on old buildings. But to say it will be done in 5 years I don’t think so has to be more.

Hugs. :)

Have a goodnight:) I'm for bed, gotta get up and teacher tomorrow.

Good night.
