[mit-habitat-exec] order placed

[Elyse J Pieper]

We got plans for this year straight from Emerson.  We are going to be making
40 window frames, no door frames.  If we pay by check, we'd have to go down
to the store itself...I'm not sure how that would work exactly.  Maybe
someone more in charge of money can call them and see what's doable?

Last year, the lumber and nails cost $941.94. But we didn't buy hammers or
tarp,
so that may add to the price a little. Still, a $350 difference is a lot.
Asking for a charity discount is a good idea though.

When do you need the money by? Can we pay by check? If I can get an invoice
of
the cost I can get a check cut directly to the Home Depot from the Habitat
account.

We have enough money to cover the cost - $500 from Spring Weekend plus the
$7000
sitting in the bank. 

Let me know what you want to do and I'll do what I can to help.

Oh, and were the wood orders made based on last year's plans? Did you hear
from
Lawrence yet?
