Since I arrived back to my 6th (top) storey flat in June 2003 the lift has not worked. For 9 months I climbed and descended the 100 or so stairs 2 or 3 times a day. My health is very thankful for this!

After work yesterday I entered the building and saw the lift was operational. Workers had spent the previous week installing a new motor. To finance this, all 18 apartment owners paid 50 million per month for the previous 4 months. Once the last payment was completed, the lift was fixed.
