Thanks for posting Op, I can't believe the rep system is working today!

I stopped what I was doing and read every single word and paragraph of the article.

I recently posted a thread about an old church in Miami going thru the same exact struggle.


Anyway I'm linking your article for those that find their way into this thread.
