But as bad as the "repairs" were, the chimneys were still there, which is more than we can say about a lot of the house.

It makes no sense, it's not any more difficult or time consuming to do things the right way and yet, no one does.

I'm glad at least one of us got one! :) <br /><br />I hear you about people not wanting to do anything out of the ordinary. At the end, I gave up trying to convince tradespeople to do something different and just told 'em to finish the damn place.

In fact, now that I think about it, the chimneys are the only project that is completely done.

Scary! I need to get to it, but it will have to stay in one piece for like another two years.

If they think it's that crazy that you have random columns and whatnot hanging around as "clutter" for years on end, have them pony up the dough to get the project going.
