Refinished dining room tables
The painters have finished 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors of the 1931 building. The camera is not doing the colors justice – the hallways and individual sleeping rooms are light beige with the study rooms a light brown. Carpet should be installed next week.
Mechanical and electrical rough-ins continue in the 1964 addition. Fire sprinklers are being installed in the entire building.
Lincoln Electric System buried the power line last week. While it is nice to have this line concealed, the downside is the back lot took a beating. Luckily, as they dug a trench from the pole to the back of the 1931 building, no surprises were found (such as a buried fuel tank).
A new stove and refrigerator has been ordered to replace the 1964 appliances. The fraternity’s freezer is relatively new and will be reused.
The board was able to contract with Cornhusker State Industries to custom build dorm room furniture (will be installed in the completed rooms next week). CSI also refinished the dining room tables and a few other wood pieces from the chapter house. The dining room tables look brand new and are ready for another 50 years of FIJIs celebrating lunch and dinner together.
Room 200 — the study room and sleeping room has been painted.
Room 401 (old 4 south) — the hallway that leads to the main study room. The sleeping rooms are off to the right.
The bathroom on the 1931 building — 3rd floor — ready for final finishes.
Mechanical and electrical rough-ins. Photo is taken on 2nd floor — looking west into room 210 (old 212 and cleaning closet).
3rd floor bathroom, 1964 addition — plumbing rough-ins are installed. Drywall should start soon.
Fire sprinkler rough-ins on the 3rd floor, 1964 addition.
The 1964 appliances have been removed and new ones are on order. The kitchen layout will remain relatively the same.
The poor back lot has seen better days — LES dug a trench from the pole in the middle of the photo to the back of the 1931 building to install a new power main.
