Tom,
I understand that and may be guilty of asking the question the wrong way. What I'm looking for is which word someone would use to best describe the proposal cited. Is it, in their view, a "restoration" or a renovation or an amalgam of the two?
For me, what a Club decides to do and say is simply that. It wouldn't change my description of what is done. If that would cost me a job so be it. I proposed this real world example that is currently happening because most comments have declared that "restoration" or "renovation" are very specific... and so I was wondering which specific individuals would apply to it or if they'd use a variation, e.g. - sympathetic restoration (phrase I've heard used before).
