I hate to rain on your parade, Al, but does a crappy job of estimates
to do the same work not in compliance with Electrical and other codes help
increase the value of your property? I would think not. In fact, it might just
catch on fire or deteriorate away without those codes. I am sorry you feel code
compliance isn't a necessity for a church. Also, stabilizing a bell tower
sounds pretty important- I don't think you would hire Joe Shmoe off the street
to do it. Church organizations always have fund-raisers to "put on a new roof"
or whatever- this should be one of them. Why should a Church worry about
property value? And who can put a value on a house of G-d?
So I don't see your point-- you are comparing apples to metal.(not even in
the same fruit category) I don't see the comparison. Where are the
estimates for non code compliance and how do those repairs increase the
property? .I bet you might get less of a % of an investment with the non-code
estimate than with the code-compliant estimates. (and no worries later)
Just my delayed-since-I-was-on-vacation opinion,
Dan Myers
