Budget Changes/Issues

Initial total budget was estimated to be 1000 dollars. The budget total increased to 1200 dollars. The 11 sticks of 3/8” copper pipe costed more than what was initially estimated at $12.00 per 10ft stick. The pipe costed $15.40 per stick. There was also fuel cost to drive to Pasco to pick up the pipe.

There were issues with receiving the copper pipe. When the pipe was first received it contained many pieces that were bent and bowed. Bent pieces of pipe would not work for the project. It took two more weeks for the pipe to be returned and 11 new sticks shipped to a Grainger branch in Pasco. This put the project behind schedule but was resolved once the new pipe was received.
