Some of the majors include: roof, 3 porches that are not sound (2 are two-level), power supply line to the house from the utility company is within grabbing distance to one of the 2nd floor porches, detached garage needs to be torn down, chimney needs to be lined and pointed, the chimney people said the capacity of the liner wouldn’t support the boilers and hot water tanks....now we’re talking about possibly replacing the water tanks with high efficiency direct vent, cracked and cobbed cast iron sewage, leaking vent stack, improperly supported/failing support structures in basement, asbestos wrapped pipes, etc.
