[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 49697, member: 360"]It's a huge problem, Bev. People say: "ooooh you shouldn't restore it! It should be kept original! It ruins the value!!" IT IS A PILE OF CRAP. What VALUE do you IMAGINE is LEFT? Maybe scrap firewood value. There IS no value left! It's useless! So I restored it. Otherwise it would've just been thrown out. And then I'd get the other spiel: "It's so beautiful!!! Why didn't you save it!?" I restore these things because if I didn't, nobody would, and they'd be thrown out. And it has no value left so I don't feel guilty about it. This thing was one crack away from being thrown in the fireplace.[/QUOTE]
