There is a very old cathedral in Trondheim called Niderås Cathedral. They're doing the roof at the moment, but in order to get the roof back to the state that they want, they need to oxidize the copper — and it's been discovered that you can use horse urine or cow urine.

Other times Trondheim came up

  1. Amazing. They sent it on Facebook, didn't they? Yeah. It's on a group called It happens in Binniset, which I think is a town near Trondheim. They said, hello, a somewhat special request, but we would love to get our hands on about four to five litres of horse urine. If you have an opportunity to help with this, feel free to contact Henning Grot Stonecutter at the cathedral.

  2. Amazing. Okay. They sent it on Facebook, didn't they? Yeah. This happens in Binneset, which I think is a town near Trondheim. They said, hello. A somewhat special request, but we would love to get our hands on about four to five litres of horse urine. If you have an opportunity to help with this, feel free to contact Henning Grott, stone cutter at the cathedral. I'm interested that they collect it in a bucket, because that does imply that someone's waiting there all the time, because you don't know when a horse is going to weep, you just go into the stadium and they've done it all over the hay.
