[edit] Construction

This article could be turned into (or work alongside) one that looks at unfinished construction in general, including boats and planes that were started but never completed. violet/riga (t) 14:53, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

FYI, there is a section in the unfinished work article for architecture, construction, and engineering that mentions an unfinished ship, among other projects. —smably 19:04, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, thanks - I wrote that bit earlier. violet/riga (t) 19:10, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Oh, right. Sorry. —smably 19:12, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
No no - it was worthy of mention, so thanks. violet/riga (t) 19:21, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mexico?

My understanding is that unfinished houses are quite common in Mexico, as the tax code provides for a lower tax rate for unfinished homes - when new concrete block homes are built, they leave rebar sticking out of the roof so as to plausibly claim that the building will support another floor, pending additional funds. Might be worthy of research. See: [1] for example.--Kharker 03:36, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cathedral of Saint John

Referring to the Cathedral of Saint John, the introductory phrase to the second category clearly states that a building is in either one or the other of those to categories, but not both. For something to be in both categories, at least change that phrase.
