Thanks, that was interesting.....

[Dages]

It's nice to have such good news about Ramapo

[Luigi62]

Point 1. What a crazy year to be at bethel.

 

A couple from my cong went to bethel in February 2020. The wife got anxietyfrom not being able to see family and the husband was busy translating videos into Australian Sign Language. They are coming back to our cong this month.

 

Point 2. How amazing does Ramapo look! And ahead of schedule. AMAZING!

My Dream job is to work at Rapapo.

Now Jehovah telling us it will NOT. There are tons of new cases every day. And probably no meeting for assembles and conventions until 2023.

The last days had a beginning, and the last days will have an end.

Brother Cook said the same thing in the 2020 Governing Body Update #3 last May. Listen to the video at the 13:16 mark.

I can’t open the video. This is what I see every time I try to watch it. Can’t even see other videos either.

I got it in JW Library. Odd that the website is having this error. First time I’ve ever had any issue with the website.

Is mass timber being used to make for faster contruction?

 

They also used precast concrete too in other projects. Is this not being used as its slower although its much stronger and will last longer.

 

 

"Careful research led to the decision to pursue a different structural system known as mass timber — something we’ve not done on previous projects of this scale. Timber is bonded in crossed directional layers to form the structural elements of the building.

This is an increasingly familiar system. Robust and safe — that means that the beams, the columns, and the floors can be prefabricated off-site, making the structure of the building faster to put up. And apart from being economical, time-saving, and reducing the carbon footprint of the project, it should also make for some very attractive buildings."

A good source of info on mass timber constrction.

Back in January, Br. Qalpa shared the site info.  In the video they said the 20th century was a time of concrete but the 21st century is a century of wood (and they go on to explain the benefits).  Go to the website, scroll down to FEATURES and select that, then scroll down to the bottom on the construction and watch the video Building Green on the new methods.

I was just thinking, Jehovah's people have been in "timber-frame" construction since Noah and the Ark...🙂

We may not go back to the hall this year but I think there’s a good chance the pandemic may be declared over this year.
