I apologize for the long delay in pictures. It was a busy end of the year, and no one was allowed in Alden for about a month. At this time, the tile has been laid, plumbing nearly done, carpet is about to go in, A/C is in, and the kitchen is nearly finished. I hope you enjoy these new pictures and let me know if you have any questions about how the project is proceeding.
Brother Tommy Bruner gives a video walk-through of the Alden building, which is currently under renovation.
The drywall is now up... take a look at the new pictures here...
The Alden Renovation is moving along quite smoothly, with a lot of work complete but still a lot to go. The residential rooms have all been framed out and insulation has been installed, with drywall expected very soon. Furnaces have been installed, and the building has been sealed by new windows with new doors expected shortly.
Evan Cornell has taken some panoramic pictures that can be seen attached to this post. A bunch of pictures I took over the weekend can be seen in the picture galleries.
The walls have started to go up in Alden. Electrical has also started to be installed in the interior. The project is looking good.
As of today, the electricity was installed by Duke Energy and the final windows were installed. The next phase of project is continued masonry work and painting. Pictures will be posted soon.
The first visible signs of work have begun to occur on Alden. Utility lines have begun to be marked and roofers have started. A time line of projects beginning is listed below:
August 14-Owen roof tear down
August 17-Roofers begin work
Late August-Early September-Sand blasting/Masonry begins
September 21-Windows Arrive
More updates will be posted as more information becomes available.
I apologize for the lack of updates on this page recently, but not much visible work is occurring at the moment. We are currently in the process of receiving bids and deciding which contractors will be awarded the work on the renovation, with actual construction work expected to begin at some point in July. There will likely not be any updates on this page until that point. In addition, this will be the last update posted by me as I have graduated and am not in Terre Haute anymore. Future updates will be posted by a member of the Chapter to be selected soon.
