The architect says the Athens roof is no problem. Didn't they say a month and a half ago that the deadline had passed to have the roof mounted and be ready? Oh, well, everything is ok now so no worries, eh?

Re: roof will be on in time...

I just love this...

-----------------------
"I continue to work on the project I have taken over, sure that we will deliver it to Greece for the games," Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava was quoted Tuesday in the Athens daily Ethnos. "I am absolutely sure we will deliver something unique that has not been done before technically."

Calatrava blamed many of the delays on bad weather. Construction crews often could not work because of strong wind.

"You can control lots of things but not the weather," Calatrava said.

TRANSLATION:
"I absolutely guarantee you that the roof will be in place on time, but if the weather won't allow it, all bets are off."
