How Exciting!
A team of forty builders are in the process of building a 13th century castle with 13th century techniques. The project is expected to take two and a half decades!
Every nuance of the building is being done by hand, from stone carving to the felling of logs and their formation within the structure.
I would absolutely love to be a part of this project. Wouldn't you? It doesn't say, but I wonder that they'll give tours once the project is complete?

I remember in my history classes I heard those old school castles are more durable than our modern building because egg whites are added on the cement.

@ScribbledAdNauseum egg whites is still tame though. There is a castle in Europe where blood is added in the cement mix. I think eggs wont rot because they were mixed with cement or whatever concrete mix they have.
I heard egg cookies and flan became popular because they needed to find uses for the egg yolks after they use the whites for construction.

Egg Whites? How strange. I guess it acted as a glue but I wonder if it might have stunk in the heat of the sun.

Is there any name given for it? Two decades means most of the friends on mylot will be in a position to see it at least. I hope so.
