HOW MANY TEMPLE'S YOU BEEN IN???

[elkassassin]

I've Never Been Inside Of One!

But I Do Remember When I Was Just A Young Kid We Looked At The Perimeter/Outside Of The Manti Temple!

I Still Remember The Craftsmanship!

It's Perty Impressive If You Consider The Time Frame It Was Built In!

Any Of You Ever Worked On A Temple?

 

[littlebull209338]

Kind of a very personal question?

I've worked on a few houses that the homeowners thought I was working a temple. Well, at least that's what they wanted me to believe and they definitely wanted the same standards!

 

[SureShot]

Now is your chance to go inside the Manti temple. It's open to the public from now until the first week of April.

 

[elkantlers]

In before the lock.

I try to go visit every temple open house I can. Seeing the construction and design is absolutely fascinating to me beyond any religious aspects connected to these buildings.

Take a late winter drive down 89 to check out deer and elk numbers and stop in Bobcatbessy. I doubt you’ll be disappointed.

Been in quite a few, getting older though I don't care much for the live music anymore it's too loud.

After 45 years of building custom houses, I’ve built a few of them for people like that too. Takes the fun out of it

I'm sure God appreciates the fine craftsmanship...

You are correct EA, the craftsmanship is top notch.

You Guys Remember When Moroni Lost His Trumpet?

 

[Vanilla]

I do. That event rumbled my house pretty good! Definitely the strongest quake I’ve experienced.

Coincidental that they had just closed the building for renovation to help it withstand a major earthquake? Maybe…

 

[elkassassin]

Did They Recover The Trumpet?

 

[Vanilla]

It is safely recovered and will be trumpeting for many years to come once they finish renovations.

I’ve never been in the Manti Temple, but I’m going to go down to the open house later this month. It looks pretty awesome.

I work commercial construction and the previous compay I worked at has built and remodeled several temples. I only went to one temple during construction and it’s amazing to see what goes into building the temple leading up to the finishes. Definitely take advantage of open houses to go inside!!!

I am a project manager for a GC that probably 25% of our work is Temples. I’m actually building the Ephraim one right now just down the road from Manti. Religion part of it aside it does feel good to build a top notch building. It’s seems a lot more to be proud of than say some of the schools or healthcare stuff I have built. If you have any construction experience I definitely recommend going to an open house just to see the craftsmanship!

My friend and I did the finish work on a temple remodel. We knew the expectations going in that it had to be perfect and it was. But it did come with some stress. The craftsmanship of some of the Europeans from the pioneer temples is amazing. No Festools or lasers back in the day.

Anyone near a temple open house should go walk thru- just to see the finished product. People dress in everything from their Sunday best to shorts and flip-slops. Leave your drinks and smokes outside and you're good to go. Usually takes 30-45 minutes to walk thru, although it could be longer if that is the desire. There is an appointment system for some open houses, but reservations are not required. Manti should be worth the trip to see.

 

[JimNv]

They're not too far away from finishing one Elko, Nv. Its right across the street from a whiskey bar and casino. Wingers too!

 

[Wbrim]

I spent a few years working on the St George temple remodel. I do structural steel. It was really something to see the work from 150 years ago, and add to it with modern engineering. That one was built 1871-1876.

 

[elkassassin]

WOW!

I'm Surprised We've Got This Many MM'ERS That Have Worked On & Built Temples!

Thanks For Chiming In Guys!

 

[coloradoman]

They are building a brand new one in Grand Junction.

 

[littlebull209338]

There are 315 LDS temples either active , announced or under construction in the world.

 

[El_Matador]

Back in my early 20's I got invited to go work on the St. Paul, Minnesota temple doing finish carpentry. I was young and foolish back then so I told the contractor no thanks. I really wish I would have taken that opportunity. I've only been to about 5 open houses and worked at 1 temple. I think I've been inside 11 temples in total: St. George, Manti, Provo (both of them), Draper, Oquirrh Mtn, Jordan River, Salt Lake, Ogden, Brigham City, and Johannesburg SA.

 

[Gorilla]

While you all are there, can you say a few Hail Mary's and put my name in the prayer bucket so that I will draw a good elk tag this year. TIA.

 

[SS!]

I would hate for the temple to burn down so best I never walk in one.

I married into a mormon family. Trust me, you ain't got nothing on them.

What is cool about old architecture is it stands out today’s architecture is boring. It all looks so bland. I will give the Mormons that those buildings are quality built and beautiful.

Don't worry SS, they have the best sprinkler system ever created.

Do They Let You Jump In That Hot Tub Upstairs Anytime You Want To?

I think the hot tub your talking about is downstairs Been in at least five and I am a card carrying member. My wife and daughters would hit most of the open houses they had in Utah .

 

[Muleman1]

Zero !

 

[elkfromabove]

Zero !

So many I can't remember them all. My mom and Dad used to take a temple trip every year and their goal was to visit every temple in North America at the time, but they couldn't do it fast enough. We went with them one time and really enjoyed it.

Years ago the Ogden temple had a little remodel job.

Not sure what he was thinking but my boss at the time bid and got it.

But it the stipulation was workers had to have recommend.

No e of us had one(60 ish at the time), couldn't find any "free agents with one.

So he had to hang with a lift and tape it himself.


They are pretty but holy **** they build slow.

US chosen people have one going in end of my subdivision. It's the slowest build I've ever seen

That’s probably why they last so long they don’t build them as fast as a spec home.

Today the waite time to get into the Manti Temple was over 3hrs.
But elkassassin don't let that stop you I am sure tomorrow, the waite time will be significantly less.

You Guys Remember When Moroni Lost His Trumpet?

I remember. March 18, 2021, Exactly 3 years from today the earth quake occurred in SLC. Since November 2020 no new temple artist renditions have Moroni blowing a trumpet. Maybe there was a reason for the earth quake and Moroni lost his trumpet? Interesting.
