No flames, please, this is MHO...I respect the oppposite POV, but for me, I'm happy to hear this. The Beatles revolutionized music and their music is still superior to anything out there now. Very happy their place in history is being recognized. I suspect the other fellas' homes will also be preserved. This is good.

Should I understand, then, that you also approve of the specific method of 'preservation' that is being implemented in this case?  The article states that the structure will be disassembled, stored, and then reassembled at a new location.

In order to accomplish this, one is left with the impression that they will be very carefully taking the building apart, brick by brick; then carefully loading it into one or more big trucks so as not to chip, break, or damage any of the bricks in any way.  Then it would be necessary to very carefully unload and stack the individual bricks once again at the storage location.  Once a new location is found for the house, they would need to reverse the entire process.

In order to do this faithfully to the original construction and design, it would most likely be necessary to number each brick and enter it's original location into a 3-D CAD architectural design database, perhaps something similar to AutoCad.  This would allow every brick to be reassembled back to it's original location.

I'm hoping that this simple question to you, which is entirely relevant to the story, is not regarded as "flaming' by yourself.  I actually don't think that I've ever 'flamed' anyone in my life.
