    Thanks for the translation. I was slowly figuring its meaning out. Before I read your post I was contemplating looking it up in the Freedictionary. Reminds me: I haven't touched a proper paper dictionary for ages. Always use the internet.

    I know this one the hard way.
    My dad and i did the lower half of our house when i was a kid. Never wanted to touch brick again after that but i have. Scraped and scraped all weekend. Washed out the gaps with a hose and brush and the old man put new stuff back in. I admit it needed done but id have rather been out with my friends.

    Still nice pic of buildings.

    The East tower whee I work is going to be clad in aluminium. [Maybe steel, I am just there to work with what they give me.] To prevent the leaking of the bricks.

    It will definitely be uglier.

    I present to you, a very nice church 5 min drive from where I live and it's FOR SALE! Price is 3.850.000 danish crows or $559292. You'll get 490 squaremeters and the baddest tower in town. Did I tell you much I love towers? If I just had the money... Imagine what it would do to your RAD, if you had such a huge room.. Oh well!
