    Oh, I thought they’d be done building by now. I visited there about 20 years ago, lol.

      It is all financed by donations so they do not have a massive crew working on it. Also the entire thing is pretty much hand built. Obviously they use modern cranes and similar tools, but nearly nothing is off the shelf. In many ways it is quite similar to the construction of the gothic cathedrals.
