Hi Sylvain

 

[Sylvain]

Hello Greg.

How are things with you?

 

[Mark 1911]

Finally quit raining here. I was thinking we were going to have to deploy the lifeboats if it kept up much longer!

 

[GregD]

Hello Greg.

How are things with you?

This has just been on fine day !
Any news on getting everything stablized?

 

[GregD]

Hi Mark
The river down here is running very high.

Hi Mark
The river down here is running very high.

Hi Greg,
I can imagine. I'm only 1 block south of the Little Calumet, it was only about 1 foot from the top of the retaining wall this morning. Good luck, hope you don't have to deal with any flooding. That would suck.

I'm lucky . . . . I'm very high up.

I haven't heard any news.At least it has not collapsed.

It is very important that it is rebuilt!

 

[SEIndSAM]

Howdy Greg, Mark & Sylvain....

 

[Sylvain]

It is very important that it is rebuilt!

It will be.
People are arguing about how long it will take.

The president wants it rebuilt in 5 years because it will be the Summer Olympics in Paris.
The cathedral has nothing to do with the Olympics, we shouldn't rush the work because of political deadline.
Some folks are saying it needs 10 to 15 years to do things properly.
With the tons of water used to put down the fire the whole building was soaked.
It will take at least a year just for it to be dry enough to start rebuilding.

Howdy Sam, Sylvain, everyone! I am excited to be able to go outside without an umbrella for the first time in 2 days!

I thought at 5 years was pushing it . . . but the 15 year seams long.

Hello Mark, Sam!

 

[Sylvain]

I thought at 5 years was pushing it . . . but the 15 year seams long.

It really depends how they decide to rebuild it I guess.

It won't take the same time for concrete and steel, or for traditional wood.

It might take 5 years for the experts to agree on what to do alone.
