The Historic District

The Old Vic should be covered. Waiting on an adjuster at this point.

The Old Vic's roof should be covered.

There is no hazard insurance on the Cupola Building.

Storm rolled through Clarksville St. Patricks Day...we took serious damage at both our properties, including a dozen massive windows AND the roof in our historic building and...you guessed it...our brand new roof on the Old Vic.

The Old Vic is minus one Old House Pet...

Hmmm...I find the LED's to be indistinguishable from the incandescent when ya buy the good ones...and the right color temp.

In particular, the edison/filament LED bulbs are gorgeous in exposed fixtures.

Don't skimp.

I'm also looking for 4 foot replacement T8 bulbs for our church and the magic number there is about $12.50 per bulb. At least with the T8 replacements we can get away from ballasts. I've converted some at my commercial building. HIGHLY satisfied. m Also, for the good quality stuff at best prices......

They also have exposed filament/antique style led bulbs. I'm testing several styles and they are excellent. Buy the correct k/temp and the color is indistinguishable from an incandescent.

Gezzzz, was just back reading, just noticed auto correct changed a word on me. Just got to proof read better. I'm pretty sure your food held up, and it's good to know your new shingles stood the test. LOL! I was wondering why you'd ask! Yep, roof on the Old Vic is doing great! Got a couple windows ...

As an addendum...you CAN get laminated glass that's been beveled. Easier to fit in an old window/door.

The reason tempered is code in doors (and in windows immediately adjacent/attached to doors) is because folks often push on them, or run into them, put a hand through them, etc. Slamming doors can also break the glass. Non-tempered breaks easier, and worse, breaks in very large pieces, and those pie...
