RC,

Ha! Excellent!

What I like is when we get to use the appropriate methodology of histo
presto without ever having to say anything.
Particularly on a fairly new structure say from the 80's where if you
say you are doing 'anything' more than 'maintenance' the parties freak.
But the same care for craft, materials and details that would apply to
an 18th century building can be applied to a late 20th -- and it is a
case of doing right.
