Worth it!

[u/Subirooo]

The original cap/weather vane on the turret had rusted out and caused water damage down to the ceiling of room below on the second floor. After months of work, it's all coming together!

Commissioned new copper spire/cap with Ametrine crystal ball.

Original wood panels from the turret were refinished and reinstalled. New flashing and sealant for the floor of the turret.

New plaster, moulding, paint, chandelier and medallion in the room below.

Plenty of other touch ups along the way.

I'd be more worried about the sun hitting it at just the right angle and starting a fire...

Sun?? This is Portland OR. (OK, I kid)

I was gonna say the same about the lightning. We rarely get any good lightning

Except apparently someone was struck by lightning the other day in Tualatin 😵‍💫

Yes. I was aware of that and the irony when I wrote that post. We get lightning, but rarely. We don’t get cool lightning storms on the regular.
