 DD> I agree, they are pretty neat.

Another old fashioned item that is becoming popular again are those
large square wrought iron grates used to allow gravity heat movement
between floors of buildings. Victorian homes had them between the
basement and the living room and again between the living room and
the master bedroom in the days before ducting. Well today people are
installing airtight wood stoves and pellet stoves as room heaters
and installing replica grates in the ceilings.

Back in the 70's I worked for a plumbing and heating company briefly
and my boss collected those grates when we upgraded old houses.
Nobody wanted them left behind in their houses but he welded on legs
and sealed them in plexiglass, selling them as expensive coffee
tables.


Today's theme is steak with lemon:
