Mid-way budget update

Backyard, Budget, Planning

Well here we are about 3 weeks into the project. To remind you, my goal is to stay under $13,000 for this project. Here’s where we are:

Supplies: $3,143.19

There are some things that will get returned and I think conservatively we probably have another $1,500 left to purchase.

Hauling: $1,323.29 

We’ve had 70 yards of debris hauled away! This price doesn’t include the dumpster from this weekend which I’m guessing is around $500-700.

Labor: $1,550.80

Includes Jaymie’s time and the concrete breaking. Probably have at least 1-2 more days of labor to pay for.

Misc. other: $787

Includes the electrical shutoff and demo permit.

Total: $6,504.28

Looking forward, we may come in close, but it’s going to be tight:

Gravel & dirt: $1,000

Hauling (done but not included in above): $700

Tool rental and additional labor: $600

Concrete dye: $100 

Additional supplies: $1,500 (less any credit for returned supplies)

Plumbing & electrical: $1,500

Irrigation & lighting: $500

Landscape: $700+ this is sort of the whatever’s left over and if I want to spend a bit more section.

That would bring us right to $13,000!  Hopefully we can stay on track and can bring this project in on-budget!
