Autry Tech house to be auctioned

By Violet Spader

Staff Writer



Daylon Krause appreciates houses a lot more now that he knows what goes into building one.

“I’d never done this before,” Krause, a construction technology student at Autry Technology Center, said. But as he and his classmates spent a year constructing the Autry Construction Trades home, he learned to measure twice, cut once and picked up a specialty — cabinet making.

Autry students participated in the design, construction and finishing of the house.

“A lot of ideas came from students,” Lyle Phillips, Autry construction technology instructor, said. Some of these include an in-wall ironing board, tray ceilings and a bay window.

The house is up for public auction at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Autry campus, 1201 W. Willow.

The home offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with more than 1,580 square feet of living space. Custom cabinets, made possible with Travis Layton, afternoon teaching assistant, and his instruction, are installed throughout the house.

Windows were donated by Progressive Windows Manufactur-ing Co. of Fairview and are vinyl energy-efficient and energy star approved.

Other features are solar tubes in bathrooms, indirect lighting in the kitchen, master bedroom and master bathroom.

The house offers cathedral ceilings in the living and dining rooms and kitchen, and there is a raised tray ceiling in both the master bedroom and master bathroom. The master bedroom features a walk-in closet.

The flooring is carpet, tile and wood laminate.

Additional features of the home are R40 attic insulation, 80 percent gas furnace, Delta faucets throughout, all metal ductwork and all copper piping.

“It’s a well-built house and the space is utilized well,” Phillips said. “The students take pride in their workmanship.”

This is the fifth house to be auctioned at Autry. Previous homes are now located in Fairview and Goltry, Dale Gates, director of curriculum, said.

“Over the years, it’s become perfected,” Gates said. “We use the best materials, and every whipstitch has been inspected.”

All work was inspected by the city of Enid code office.

Between 50 and 75 students from various subject areas participated in the project. Instructors providing assistance were Phillips, Jon Jones, drafting and design instructor, Mike Henry, air conditioning and refrigeration technology instructor, and Tammie Conaway, early care and hospitality instructor.

“The students have a sense of ownership and accomplishment,” Phillips said. “They learn by doing.”
