But, maybe it's one of the first. I'd bet the floors all need a lot of work though. How much longer until completion? I figured we'd see an Open House next Spring. Maybe we'll get to have it sooner.

I have also heard rumors of stained wood in the building.

The interior shots you captured are of the second stage instructional room after the first floor instructional rooms but before the Celestial Room. Very exciting photos for sure! NiHao said he's disappointed to see painted wood there instead of natural stained wood. I am confident we will see plenty of stained wood throughout the temple, but white painted wood does make sense for the room we got a peek at thinking about the symbology of the progressive nature of the instructional rooms. I believe a white interior will work well for that room. Also, I love the scroll work we're seeing, with the ivy leaves and all.Easy_Going_Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05332941140760717239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599222840274804102.post-78577812235384081672015-04-11T09:37:29.031-06:002015-04-11T09:37:29.031-06:00Thank you so very much for your time and efforts t...Thank you so very much for your time and efforts to bring us these incredible photos!

I went back to page 18 of the Daily Herald special article 2 years ago and there is even a diagram of this.

I was at the site today, too, and realized that the north and south sidewalks are not mirror images of each other. The north lot has the stairs up to the temple on the outside of the sidewalk arc, while on the south lot, the stairs are on the inside of the sidewalk arch. It may seem like a little detail, but that means that for the south side, the main entrance, the sidewalk can be used as a ramp to be ADA compliant. It also means all those landscaping walls that are so short on the north side have to be quite tall on the south side and the resulting gardens are deeper...so they could plant bigger trees closer to the temple on the south side as a result. The geofoam in that area also has to be taller to reach the taller sidewalk. It seems like a minor deal, but it changes quite a few details as a result.David and Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978980463493077301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599222840274804102.post-60969810656897166542015-04-10T22:18:14.738-06:002015-04-10T22:18:14.738-06:00Wow!
