If there's a "guaranteed replacement" rider or clause, then they should be able to rebuild the A-frame in it's original dimensions and form, right? Also, from the looks of the picture I took below, the left side is/was showing stress as well. And notice the separation on the right side of center and in the supports... With a good architect and a quality (and I stress QUALITY) contractor, a new A-frame could be built to last another 50 years! And those wishing to rally behind this even though the "karma" has not been there lately should look to other tiki temples that are still existing today for our enjoyment and stop bashing them! Walk the walk not just the talk. JMHO! http://www.DonTheBeachcomber.com "Marriage, Mortgages and Mai-Tai's...Whatta life!" [ Edited by: SoccerTiki 2011-05-24 07:50 ]
