    A number of pages back I suggested that they will probably use specially treated steel. To the extent that they may be visible, they may choose to clad them with wood or some other material that looks like wood.

    Pretty controversial, but I get the point
    They should BULLDOZE it down! And build a dorm for pregnant Nuns!

    A BILLION $$ can be spent on much more valuable ideas!

    And the seams would be visible. I said that too. They want to recreate what was there. Stainless steel isn't that. It isn't the right metal to start with.

    Notre Dame can never be restored to its original state. There will have to many changes, Im sure there are many things that cant be replaced.
