Spent all morning updating the expenditures vs. budget spreadsheet.  Even though the roof structure cost, literally, twice as much as Sean estimated and even though I think the windows and doors are going to run over budget by 50%, at this point in the construction process the projected cost of the house is a few thousand dollars less than the budget.  Looks like maybe I won’t be needing that divorce lawyer after all…  Went down to the Home Depot in Rutland after lunch to buy some windows for the sauna building.  None the size I wanted in stock, so will have to special order from Goodro’s.  Did pick up ½″ x 2″ galvanized lag bolts needed to fasten the chimney bracket to the southwest hip rafter.  Installed same upon return to Fern Lake.
