Shutters are up & May budget numbers of our Leed House in Houston
Just a quick update - May was a busy month, with most of the internal wiring and plumbing being done, and the windows and shutters being installed. We also started housewrap. Here is a picture from the front, showing the shutters down. The sills on the upper windows aren't in yet, so the shutters are going lower than they ultimately will, but you can see that they do a great job of protecting the windows from storm or sun.
You can also see our budget numbers for this month. We have had a few good weeks in this regard, with most things coming in as expected, which is great. We have now reached the point where we have many of the major items locked in, so the scope for additional overages is slowly shrinking. We will have some expected additional costs, though, such as some of the more decorative lights, which were not part of the original budget - but these can hardly be considered overages.
We are getting very close to insulation and dry wall, which should be accomplished in the next two weeks or so.
