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.
