ASU Update

The loan application to CCI for the purchase of the house at 606
Alpha Drive is going in this week! The remaining six houses on Alpha
Drive that have yet to exercise their options (this includes us) will
be providing notice to ASU on July 12 or 15. We hope to have ASU
submit the purchase to the Board of Regents at either their August or
September meeting and to close as soon as possible after that hoped
for rubber stamp.

If you go by the house this week (or went by last week) you will have
seen that a new $20,000 roof is going up over the Residence portion
of the structure. We have many renovations planned over the coming
school year and hope to have an “Open House” to show it off in the
Spring so stay tuned!

This summer the row saw a rash of burglaries including our house
getting hit two or three times in a one week period! Julie was
awakened by something during one of these break-ins and called the
police who came into the house with guns drawn and came out with two
thieves. We have had many windows broken and doors pried open with
crowbars so we have some considerable damage to fix in addition to
the renovations that are planned. Looks like we will add a security
system to the planned items to install since the fence that is put up
during the summer does not appear to be deterring the bad guys anymore.
