NOTRE DAME UPDATE FROM OREGONIAN IN PARIS

How do they fix broken stone and burned timbers?

It looks like this:

How big are those timbers?

This is a guy on top.

Any idea how they’re made?

Imagine applying modern technologies and preservation techniques.

Stone, wood, and steel answer the call.

Add to stone, wood, and steel workers who brave the hazards.

Now imagine how it was done originally.
