A bit about money

In surfing as much as I have over the sites of folks who've begun similar projects, one thing I know I want out of such a resource is some context regarding a project's budget. So we're going to be frank about what things cost and how things are shaking out. We've got a rough budget of about $350K. That might change depending on lots of different variables (interest rates, what sort of rental income we might get on the house, etc.), but either way we'll let you know what things cost.
