The pipes that burst were in the carriage house. ]]> Sat, 30 Oct 2010 10:21:10 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1223&PID=22800&title=buying-sorg-mansion#22800 Buying Sorg Mansion : I didn't know anything about... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1223&PID=22793&title=buying-sorg-mansion#22793 Author: viper771

I didn't know anything about a gas leak, but it doesn't surprise me. I think the main house still has working gas lights. Even the carriage house still has the old equipment from when it was a mini power plant.
 
I hope it is all fixed up though. If I had the money I would do it. But it does look better without the crappy cars out there.

It's my understanding the Opera House had a leak that was difficult to find. 
 
I am referring to a gas leak, not water leak.  Although I do understand there are issues with the carriage house.

Did the Sorg Mansion have the leak that took a week to find? Did it flood the basement? I saw about 2 or 3 work trucks and maybe a work van there a couple weeks ago. A lot of traffic at the time so I couldn't see what all was going on.

Did anyone find out if this is sold or not? I have to say that it does look a little abandoned these days, but looks better without all the junker cars in the parking lot when all the apartments used to be rented.]]> Fri, 29 Oct 2010 14:15:39 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1223&PID=22781&title=buying-sorg-mansion#22781 Buying Sorg Mansion : It doesn't surprise me.

It doesn't surprise me. From what my wife saw (she drove by and the curtains in the guest house were tied up) she could see the vast amount of water damage on the walls from leaks (reminds me of our house). The plumber who redid our main water line was saying they had some big plumbing leak in the basement of the main house, but it took a week to find where it was. Something about it being within the actual foundation and they had a hell of a time getting to it.]]> Thu, 28 Oct 2010 17:11:29 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1223&PID=22759&title=buying-sorg-mansion#22759 Buying Sorg Mansion : I understand there was a gas leak... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1223&PID=22752&title=buying-sorg-mansion#22752 Author: swohio75

Some was in there the other day either working on the Sorg and Guest house, or just taking a look at what needed to be done. ]]> Thu, 28 Oct 2010 14:19:07 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1223&PID=22751&title=buying-sorg-mansion#22751 Buying Sorg Mansion : Lostdafire wrote:I drove by... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1223&PID=22749&title=buying-sorg-mansion#22749 Author: swohio75

It's been that way for several months now.
