Sweet Home Delta Gamma: The Third Little Pig
http://alphatauexpansion.blogspot.com/2009/09/third-little-pig.html
Sweet Home Delta Gamma. Follow along as the Alpha Tau chapter house at Butler University is renovated and expanded. Friday, September 25, 2009. The Third Little Pig. View of the southeast corner of the south addition. Limestone and brick surrounding the windows of the existing house. New limestone and brick surrounding a new window on the south addition. As you can see, it was designed to match the style of the original structure. And these pictures have nothing to do with brick. The Third Little Pig.

Sweet Home Delta Gamma. Follow along as the Alpha Tau chapter house at Butler University is renovated and expanded. Thursday, September 17, 2009. There's almost too much going on here to find the time to blog, but I did manage to snap some pictures in the south addition while the construction workers were out to lunch! View towards the west end of the chapter room. Notice the ceiling trim, which conceals rope lighting. The black squares in the first bulkhead (top center of the picture) contain el...I pro...

Sweet Home Delta Gamma. Follow along as the Alpha Tau chapter house at Butler University is renovated and expanded. Thursday, July 30, 2009. Footers, Floors, Framing and Finishes. I've put my hand in the wet paint on the railing about three times, despite the VERY clear signs. New chandelier and flooring in the foyer. The floor is dirty and the chandelier still wrapped in plastic, but you get the idea. Student room on the second floor of the south addition. Tuesday, July 28, 2009. Friday, July 24, 2009.

Sweet Home Delta Gamma. Follow along as the Alpha Tau chapter house at Butler University is renovated and expanded. Sunday, May 31, 2009. A Step in the Right Direction. Even though it was a short work week at the house due to Memorial Day, those four days were really, really exciting. Why? New plumbing was roughed in for the basement bathrooms. . The black pipes running across the top of the kitchen ceiling are part of the fire sprinkler system. . This is another view of the footers for the dining room.

I'm happy to say the work went smoothly and things are looking good for the students to occupy the south addition by the end of the month! Shiny new kitchen floor. The newly installed shutters will be painted in the next few days (too rainy last week). The new dumpster gate will also be painted. Classiest trash on the block. :). Eight person ...

Sweet Home Delta Gamma. Follow along as the Alpha Tau chapter house at Butler University is renovated and expanded. Wednesday, September 9, 2009. You may remember me mentioning in the last post that the foyer was set to receive a bit of a remodel over Labor Day weekend. I sifted through my old pictures from the very end of the school year and managed to dig up a "before" photo of the foyer. It's not very good (and apparently I was getting ready to haul out some trash before taking this? I would like to u...

Sweet Home Delta Gamma. Follow along as the Alpha Tau chapter house at Butler University is renovated and expanded. Wednesday, June 24, 2009. Cause I'm Leaving On a Jet Plane. I'm headed to Seattle for a few days, but thought that before I left, I'd better clean out my camera and post whatever pictures I had of this week's work so far. It has already been a busy week! More pictures when I return! The old roof is gone! Piles of discarded shingles. Two small dumpsters were also filled! Well, we finally re...

http://alphatauexpansion.blogspot.com/2009/09/sunny-side-up.html
Sweet Home Delta Gamma. Follow along as the Alpha Tau chapter house at Butler University is renovated and expanded. Thursday, September 10, 2009. With the railings installed and only a little painting to be done, the new Sundeck is finally open! Thankfully we are still experiencing sunny and warm weather this fall so that the students (and their sunshine-addicted house mother) can enjoy the new space. One of the most common questions I get is "Why is only half of the roof surface a usable deck? First go ...
