00:00On the reflecting pond, or the reflecting pool, as some people call it, very important to us was the longevity,
00:10the, you know, having it so that it's not closed every day.
00:13Well, these are, I just had this done. You're getting a first glimpse, but that's your size compared. So those
00:22are compared to, those are among the tallest buildings in the world, including the Empire State Building, World Trade Center,
00:34Sears Tower, Chicago.
00:37So if you lay it on that side, you'd take two or three of them to fill it in, because
00:41the width is almost 200 feet wide. And actually much more than 2,000, close to including everything. It's about
00:502,500 feet in length to the end. And it's going to be beautiful.
00:58It was a great concept that never worked because they couldn't hold the water. Now they hold the water for
01:03a tiny fraction of the cost. We did a fantastic job. And Department of Interior was amazing. Doug Burgum, really
01:11absolutely amazing.
01:13And you're going to have something you're going to be very proud of, and it'll last for 50 to 100
01:19years before you have to do anything with it. Very strong, powerful substance that we use.
01:24And we picked a color called American Flag Blue. We had color choices. And before it was just gray. It
01:31was the color of concrete and stone. So it's going to be really special. I thought you'd like to see
01:37it.
01:37And the work ends on the pool. We also did a lot more than we anticipated. We did all of
01:44the sidewalks outside of the pool where people walk or they stand. That's where Martin Luther King made his great
01:50speech.
