Students from three program areas at Southeast Community College’s Milford Campus are busy putting the finishing touches on another house built from the ground up.
The house is the 97th built by programs on the Milford Campus dating back to 1961.
The house, with 1,750 square feet of living space, will be auctioned at 2 p.m. June 6 on the SCC Milford Campus, 600 State St. The house is located just south of the Eicher Technical Center.
Visitors may inspect the house from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays leading up to the auction. Ron Petsch, chair of SCC’s Building Construction Technology program, can provide more information upon request at 402-761-8213 or [email protected].
Building Construction Technology students were joined by those in Electrical & Electromechanical Technology and Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Technology to build the ranch-style house during the Spring Quarter.
The house has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, dining room, large utility room, and kitchen. There is oak trim throughout the house, and all walls are eight feet high. Andersen double-glazed windows are utilized throughout the home. The front and side entry doors are insulated steel. The home will feature kitchen and bathroom countertops of Wilsonart.
Since the buyer will move the house to a permanent location, basement plumbing, floor coverings, staining and painting will be provided by the new owner. The owner also is responsible for insuring the house immediately upon purchase.
Terms of the sale are cash, 25 percent due the day of the sale, with the balance due within 15 days. The sale price is subject to a 6.5-percent sales tax. The house must be moved from the SCC Milford Campus by Sept. 20, 2012, unless other arrangements are made.
Lance Larsen, a Cordova auctioneer with Lance Larsen & Associates, will carry on the family tradition and auction the house. The Larsens have auctioned off the houses since the program began in 1961. And every year since 1979, the auctioneer has donated his fees to the SCC Foundation.
