What's wrong with that? If they hadn't done what they did, the fireplace would have been broken up and carted off to the dump. It wasn't like they had a bunch of time to think about it. So yes, they paid a chunk to have it moved, and are in the process of having it restored, so that a valuable piece of Tiki history isn't lost forever. What part of that doesn't deserve some outside help? Would you prefer they just abandon the project and let the thing rot? Chris
