Chris,

We repair these buildings all the time. You really need to figure out what
the problem is in each individual case. There are a lot of potential
problems and many ways to fix each type of problem and of course the budget
often gets in the way. I feel we have been successful in marrying these
disparate items for most clients. It definitely is not a "one size fits all"
fix though.

These late 1950s bldgs were during technological transition from barrier

So Eric, is it your opinion that one could rebuild a failed glazed brick
wall on a 1950's structure with >>>new glazed brick<<< in a way that the
wall would work OK?  Or is the basic design so flawed that glazed brick
cannot work in such a situation.
