Timely but the finish is just right ! That is just a amazing ,and that is some really good works you did there. And you got to get a close up look at the works of craftsman of old. Makes us humble with all the tools we use today.And the architecture.

This is a pic of the old Smith Tower in Seattle. An old client from years gone by bought the place and saved it from a terrible thing that could have happened should the tower had fallen into the hands of those nasty developers.
they restored the building completely refurbished the inside ,sand blasted the outside and brought it back to life.

I wasn't in on any of that but I did get a look at the plans ,surveys ,so fourth. The old guy was doing the business well up into his eighties ! It was restored than sold to a N.Y. investment outfit. And of course it still stands.
It wasn't all him but he was the life blood of the real-estate development corp.
A group of investors .
