The University is built on top of a hill. there is a pretty steep gradient going down twards the stadium. The third floor has a walkway that goes straight out to the university, and underneath that on the second floor is covered patio kinda thing. I really don't know how to describe it, I'll see if I have time to take a couple of pictures from the back side to show you.

2) On the first floor draft, it shows the entryway with the mega-patio, firepit. Is that all concrete beams and then wood? Will there be built in seating? What else are they putting on that patio??? It looks monstrous.

Someone posted an artist's rendering of the front of the house that shows what the patio will look like. Last time we talked to the alumni there was some doubt as to what all would be put out there due to budget, but I hope we get the whole nine yards.

3) Do those huge windows near the patio open, or roll up?

From what I've been told, yes, the dining room windows/doors will be able to open up to the patio. We'll see what actually gets built, as there is just plastic sheeting there now.

4) Is there an elevator?

The rumors are all true, there is an elevator! Actually, according to the ADA (americans with disabilities act) there has to be for new construction. But we are the only greek house on campus with one! It will definitely be shut off during parties tho.

For a house that size, you'd be crazy not to get a pretty good sized elevator. They're not that expensive really. My folks have one in their house.

House is coming along more everyday! The floors in the rooms look like hardwoods, even have the grain textured on top of them. The patio is really looking good, and I'm not sure if we are going to have a fountain in the front or what, but there is some kinda pit thing that looks good.

This is the back of the house, I knwo it was confusing on how the third floos had a walkway. This pic is from teh walkway.

Wow...that is going to be a NICE house when y'all get done... definitely alot nicer than Ole Miss's even after their renovation. (or ours, whenever we actually do get a house) So, Miss. State plays football in Little Rock later on this year, mind if I just drop by for a night?

Man, you're welcome to, but Fayetteville is about 3 hours away from little rock!
