Thanks,
That's a good idea.
It is hard to pick because some are great defects (is there such a thing as a great defect?) because of what happened over time (Pictures 4 or 7) but others are great because the of the original framing (Pictures 1 or 3)
And then there are the wonky modifications (Picture 2) and the stop gap repairs (Picture 9). A nice bunch of pictures.
