I grabbed the swat team (EO, Matt, Bert, Yohanna, Ted, and Andrea) and we got the stucco done in a day. The cabin is now essentially sealed in and the outside is more or less done (save a deck and a door and the 10 foot area that still needs painting b/c we ran out of paint).
At this point I am gonna pull back a little bit and relax enough to help some other people on their building projects, enjoy the end of term, try to sleep a little more, etc.
Here is the accounting (I am trying to keep things open for others to see - in hopes it will help them with budgets - and as well to keep in line with the organizational policy of keeping open books for projects that involve donated money).
This is the cost for getting sealed in. I think the total is $18,400 to date. I feel like I am $5000 away from being able to finish up to a minimal level (still looking for a solar fridge option - if anyone has a spare one kicking around, let me know...) - which is quite exciting and manageable.
