Drywall in 3rd old hallway - will start next week.
You may notice “drywall is scheduled to begin next week” in a few of the recent posts – the project ran into a few structural delays that caused this to be postponed – but next week, drywall will start on the old side. Really, it is going to happen.
The delays were caused due the notching that occurred in bathroom floor joists to accommodate various plumbing repairs and renovations over the past 80 years and fire safety code issues from the original 1931 framing. These issues have been resolved.
Metal door frames and insulation was installed this week. The metal door frames will save a significant amount of money in future are easier to maintain. The insulation will help with utility bills and help make Phi Gam a little ‘greener’.
Special thank you to Jerry Solomon (Nebraska 1951) for his assistance in identifying photos of Lambda Nu’s Lettermen and Innocents Society members. There are still several photos that are unknown. Please take a look and let us know if you recognize these Brothers.
A very exciting photo of a new metal door jamb installed for room 201.
Insulation being installed in room 300 (northeast corner of 3rd floor)
Fireblocking installed in room 401 (old 4South). This prevents fire from spreading in the walls and between floors.
