Monday night started with dinner and chapter meeting. Northern Deke had their monthly meeting. Brian and Paul introduced Bob to us. Bob is our new Property Manager. Northern Deke has decided that the cost of hiring an outside person to be the day-to-day contact for us was worth the cost.
We agree. Having someone “on call” that knows what he is doing is much better for the operations of the house, frees up time for the Alumni to do other things, and makes us more accountable of keeping the house clean. Bob’s a no nonsense kind of guy so we know what is expected of us.
The roof is done and the huge crane is gone. It is nice to have the parking lot open again. The new pipe for rainwater has been hooked up and now runs out into the parking lot. Not sure how that will work during major rains or ice during the winter time but we will deal with that when it happens.
Next up on the construction list is the window wells facing the boys next door. Sounds like the window wells will be filled in and put in glass block at the ground level with an exhaust fan so we can better air out the basement during social gatherings.
Oh, and the heater in the basement works again too. Nice.
Some guys went to Madison for Halloween. A few of our guys are from there so having a place to stay and park was not an issue. Last we heard all of our guys came back on one piece and without any tickets.
For those of us that stayed here there were a few parties to go to away from the house. For the most part is was a quiet weekend.
