It was really neat to learn about maintaining West Campus from Chris VanDruff last week.

I don’t live in the main house, but I was under the impression that it was air conditioned. I found out that instead, the house is cooled by connection to Cayuga Lake. I wasn’t surprised to hear that lights were among the most popular trouble-causers for maintenance. Our main light bulb went out just a month ago, but thankfully, it was promptly replaced.

I had no idea that the gates at either end of the pathway between the main houses and the gothics were added comparatively recently. I can see how the street presented safety hazards before, and I’m glad that there is little to no traffic there now. I imagine it’s quieter now too, which is nice since my window is right above that road. I was surprised to hear that it was such a complicated process to close it off though. There were so many little details involved that I would never have considered off the top of my head.
