- Room 312, looking into 311 and 310
Finals are done, graduation is over and the undergraduate Phi Gams are out of the house – wrapping up another great year – now, let rest of the demo begin.
The demo crew started on the 3rd floor bringing down the walls, ceiling and stripping the bathroom. At the same time, asbestos crews have removed the dining room and foyer ceiling along with the original floor tiles on 2nd floor. An unexpected surprise was to find that 75% of the floors on second and third floor had asbestos tiles under the carpet that has to be removed. Early next week the crews will swap with the flooring being removed on 3rd floor while the demo crew removes the walls and bathroom on 2nd floor.
Insulation, boxing and drywall continue on the 1931 building and should be wrapped up next few weeks. All final finishes (doors, tiles, paint colors, carpet) have been identified and are on order to finish the old side of the house.
A request from the undergraduate brothers: The Rush Chairmen are busy starting the rush season – if you know of any good young men who plan to attend UNL this fall, please email their name and contact information. If they decided to join Phi Gamma Delta, they will be living in one of the best fraternity houses on campus.

3rd new hallway — looking for the nook that use to be outside room 311 towards the window.
The author of the blog had to purchase a new camera — a new feature — panorama’s — this is taken standing in the northwest corner of room 312.
Demo in the 3rd new bathroom — this is where the sinks use to be located.

The new slide from what was room 307 — the undergraduate are going to love this! (just kidding, will be used to shovel the 3rd floor remains to the dumpster, then be gone).
The House Corporation’s love affair with asbestos continues — the is is outside of the removal tent in the hallway outside the dining room. Both the dining room ceiling and the tiles in the kitchen, hallway, break room, ice room and pantry contained asbestos.
