  People make mistakes.  If you think you never did... well, you're
almost certainly mistaken.  :-)

  That's yet another aspect of the problem.  Fairly good plans could
have existed at some point, maybe.  So they get filed away in the
facility manager's office.  Changes happen as they do things.  Then
the company goes out of business.  Property changes hands a few times.
 Has various tenants.  Sits vacant for long stretches.  At some point
the parking lot is repaved.  Eventually, we buy it.  We get whatever a
fourth-hand owning real estate company managed to dig up.  I should be
glad there's a building shown.  :-)
