Proposed Budget For "Fort Awesome!" Construction Project

To whom it may concern:

Below is the itemized budget proposal for the materials required to construct Fort Awesome! as per the specifications outlined by the blueprints received by this office on 11/01/06. The budget does not include staple materials, such as nails and screws, nor does it include "secondary" costs, such as truck/van rentals which may be necessary to transport materials and crew to sight. Estimates for these figures will be provided by the foreman only after a final construction site has been chosen and a materials budget has been approved. It is the understanding of this office that as of the writing of this letter, the following sites are still being considered for the final location of Fort Awesome!:

• The beech tree located behind turtle swamp
  
• The rocky outctrop located due north of the Indian caves
  
• The small clearing next to the creek behind Mrs. Robinson's potting shed

In that the blueprints we have been provided with do not take into account the nuances in design needed to be made to accomodate each location, this budget is simply for materials needed to build the basic Fort Awesome! design. Again, budgetary amendments shall be the responsibility of the foreman and shall be provided at a later date.
