65 new mattresses arrived today
Tomorrow, Tuesday, August 16 is a big day – all the fraternity property will be moved back from storage. Due to the extent of the renovation, the chapter had to store its property off-site. We kept the large round coffee table, grandfather clock, piano, trophy case, library table, conference table, milk machine, Hobart mixer, and freezer – along with all the composites, chapter records, supplies, etc.
Today, a few deliveries were made – including the washers and dryers for second and third floor, 65 mattresses and rest of the dorm furniture (bunk beds, dresser, wardrobes and desk). Tomorrow the new living room furniture and copy/scan/print machine will arrive.
The house corporation also met with the locksmith today — the chapter will be installing a master key system for all interior doors and a card system at all entry points. This should help manage the who has access to the chapter house.
Thank you to all the graduate brothers who have donated to the project. Our young PhiGams are going to have a safe, modern chapter house to call home during their college years. If you haven’t donated yet – we can still need your help! Visit the How to Donate tab for more information.
The living room is ready for furniture — minus the fire door on the right (which will be installed upstairs tomorrow).
The dining room floor was sealed and waxed today. Chandeliers were hung late last week.
The first piece of furniture was brought back to the chapter house last weekend — the grandfather clock. It has been in foster care for the past few years as the exact date of construction was not known. It is working properly and keeps excellent time. The small white box to the left is the carbon monoxide detectors that are now required to be approved university housing.
