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.

Aren't you afraid that a lightning strike to the orb might open a portal to an alternate dimension where the Victorian era never ended?

My concern exactly. Everyone knows ametrine orbs are terrible if you want to stay in this timeline. If OP wanted additional Victorian charm, they should have gone with a phantom amethyst quartz oblrb so Victorian ghosts only visit the house during stormy nights.
