I just want to know how you do this?

1) Somebody had to get up on a ladder, measure, and cut the hole for the door.
2) MORE THAN ONE PERSON had to get up there and put the door in upside down.

What in the gently caress Russia?

That is not how buildings are built.

Lets be honest here, a lot of that $51 billion dollars went into Putin's secret piggy bank, and that hasn't even taken into account his oligarch friends doing the same.

So is it in NBC's interest to gloss over any Sochi deficiencies? Will they point out anything that might be shoddy/questionable?
