Project 2016/17
The House Corporation Officers and Trustees have initiated Project 2016/17, a continued improvement plan that focuses on our four primary objectives - safety/security, renovate infrastructure, improve quality of life and overall utility efficiency.Project 2016/17 is capitalizing on last years monumental achievements. Some highlights include the following:
- Extensive termite eradication and long term prevention by tenting the house, doing subterranean termite treatment (missing for at least two decades) and additional focus on treatment to prevent future infestation.
- Replace the entire roof (including the flat top on the main house)
- Rationalize and possibly replace the existing HVAC installation with more efficient and isolated systems (which then allow for better control of electric usage)
- Depending on the HVAC option, begin water and electric line rerouting to accommodate
- Begin infrastructure work on routing plumbing lines to optimize upgrades to each room with priority given to at least six rooms requiring more immediate care
- A continued effort to update rooms, kitchen and other open areas (eg chapter ceiling) that initially require plumbing and electrical upgrades
If all projects are successfully bid and approved , the targeted cost is just under $120,000.
Since we just approved and purchased the rear property, the tasks ahead for the next year are still on target (perhaps with a slight delay). Fundraising to date has been inspiring as many more alumni have embraced the 5 year plan that was presented at the 45th Birthday in April
Please consider donating a one-time or recurring monthly donation for the continued improvement of the home of Eta Iota. There are several methods including tax deductible donations through ERAU, check (sent to HC Treasurer), electronic bank transfer directly to HC (from checking), Paypal (from credit cards). All of these options are here at Donate Here.
