it's in the 40's here in maine....short lived though as it will be back down to frigid temps again in a day or two!
Don't know what it is like where you are this morning, but it is 10° here and I thought perhaps some of you could use a WOW moment to kick off the week. The inserted link will take you to the history and description of the Eiffel Tower. If you don't have the time to read the article just scroll down through the photos and look at the construction. Keep in mind that the tolerances required because of its unique design was within the thousandths of an inch, and this was done in the 1880's without the aid of computers. No cutting or drilling was allowed on site, so each prefabricated unit had to either fit or be returned to the iron works for modifications
