“Into the millennium”

Pres. Nelson said that the new temple foundation will take us “into the millennium”.

Anyone know how long that foundation is supposed to last before they redo it? Is there city codes that state how often foundations need to be redone?

I don’t think it’s quite accurate to suggest that foundations ordinarily need to be redone periodically (though I imagine most city codes contemplate buildings with lives of decades, not centuries).  The impetus for the SL Temple project (and the Tabernacle project before it) wasn’t that the foundations were old per se; it was that when these structures were built, we just didn’t know how to do foundations that could stand up to the sort of seismic activity geologists now know is possible in Utah.

Whelp, ya ask a peanut gallery a question, here are two peanut gallery answers.  Pick whichever you like:

1. Eight hundred thousand years, give or take a few centuries.   I'm sorry.

2. The foundations will need to be replaced on June 22, 2034, at 2:43 pm.  Better start getting your affairs in order now.

You mean to say the millennium hasn't yet started in your part of the world? You guys need to catch up. :) b
