Great info - thanks!
And you are right - there is something bizarre about the Statue of Liberty being copper colored rather than green - seems "wrong." 8`-)

copper was and is also today used for plumbing and heating... today copper is somewhat getting phased out by the use of Pvc plastic piping but for heating you need copper. when copper "oxidizes"( i think i spelled that right" it does turn green but not all the way through.. under the green is still that copper finish.. technically the statue of liberty could be sanded and polsihed down and shine like a brand new penny. as for working heard to get the copper out it all depends on how u can acess it... if your in a basement where yits easily accessable ita a matter of cutting the tube and probabally getting a little messy... i honesly wouldnt wanna know what resides in a 20 year old copper pipe though.

Oops - sorry - didn't mean to leave you out. So is there a lot of copper in buildings or do people have to work pretty hard to get it out? I guess I never think of copper being used but when I watched a house being built some years ago I remember being there when they put in some copper tubing for what I guess was the water pipes? But then water and air turn copper green. OK, you building-savvy people - what all is copper used for?
Thanks for answering, MaDMaN. :-)

the reason people strip the copper is becuase it canbe melted down and recycled. salvage yard will by big bucks in bulk

I do love the rest of this place, this one walkway seems cheap and out of place with all the older buildings though!
