On a recent day trip, we traveled to a nice town in Washington. There were many very expensive homes that looked like they could be considered mansions. The fiberglass columns were beautiful. They were a lot like pillars but much fancier. We talked to some of the owners, that were having an open house that weekend. They explained that they should never have to replace them for many years or maybe never. They should never rot, since they bought the more expensive ones. It was unbelievable how beautiful fiberglass columns made the homes look.
