That is a seriously cool idea.    Interesting idea, plus  interesting case 
study.  If it falls apart then, fine: you sissy  tree-hugging 
preservation-commies are right, and fiberglass is proved to be the  work of the devil.  If it 
looks OK, then OK there, too.  
 
No, I am not getting out of town.
 
Could you pretty pretty pretty please tell us which building this  is?   I 
promise not to put in on the front page of the  paper.

ps you didn't say how much to do it in cast iron.  which reminds  me:  if you 
were doing a ci facade today, how would you detail it  differently that Mr. 
1870 Architect?

I have a  client who wants to replace the ENTIRE facade of his cast iron pile 
with  fiberglas. Given that he's a developer, I don't trust the LPC to come 
in on  our side, which is replacement in-kind in an historic district. Even 
though we  told him the bid price would be what it came out to be, it came in at 
$4Mil  over what he WANTED it to be, so the folly begins. Thanks for the 
input. I can  concede a plastic cornice, with reservations, but that isn't going to 
get the  price where he wants it.Here the cornice is of cast iron. He was 
told by  the previous consultant that the whole project would be $1.5  Mil.  We 
told him $8Mil! Stay  tuned.
