We moved in August 25, 2005. My parents came up from Texas, and Dad fixed the plumbing to the 2nd floor and the gas dryer. Phone line only worked at the box outside because when they yanked the phone system out the everything was messed up. After much work (with phone company and without) managed to patch back in 3 lines.... one on each floor of main section.
Added two stoves to the kitchen and a fridge. Added a rolling island in the kitchen. Kitchen has one small pantry only. The gym section has showers but after much effort... cant get the water heater on that side to pull oil from the tank. So you can take really cold showers, but not hot ones.
The hot water heater in the main building works but no showers there. Added a horse trough in the laundry room with a splitter on the faucets that the washer uses so we can fill it. Horse trough is a nice size but the drain is in the side. To drain it, we had to bucket it into the washing machine and use the spin cycle. This took 3 cycles.
In September I started the process of trying to get the boiler working. To get a company to come out and work on it, you needed insurance. But the insurance only dealt with commercial properties not residential. also had to remove all the lights because there are pcbs in the ballasts.
October... still working on boiler issues
November.. finally have heat.
December... water in one of the third floor bathroom mysteriously starts working.. not complaining.
January. find out I am pregnant with number 10. so cool.
Feb or march sometime... rigged up a drain in the side of trough. works but leaks but beats buckets.
July... found a corn burning stove for first floor... purchased it. spent most of time on third floor where central air is.
august phew cant believe it was one whole year
