"Renovating makes you appreciate the old building ways.. like nailing the foreman's lunch into the wall" "What craftmanship" "You just don't get a good wiped lead joint anymore. Or morticed studs. Or properly forged nails. Or decent slatework. Sarking just doesn't get a look in... and try asking someone to square a wreathed handrail these days. Any they don't brick in building inspectors like they used to.." Progressive Building, 30 November 2003
