A full grandfather (or grandmother for that matter) clock is just not going to happen for me, I realized many years ago so I settled on wanting a good mantel clock. I wanted a nice chiming one, easy to read and not chiming too much.
I found my clock at last and it has been chiming the hour and half hour now for about 2 months.
I have it settled for now firmly on my sideboard where it won't be jarred or bumped.
