## Status

Counted on site at 5pm today by Cole Whitlock.

### Of 22 rooms complete

**14**

### Of 412 pieces placed

**287**

### Snags open

**9**

### Rooms behind plan

**2**

## One thing to know

Three vanity tops arrived cracked. Rooms 204, 207 and 211 finish on October 4, not September 27. The opening does not move.

## Against plan

Plan was 16 rooms by day 6. We are at 14. The lost time was two days of vanity rework, and the crew recovers one by Friday.

## This week

### The next five days

Crew of eight, 7am to 3:30pm. Deliveries before 10am.

### 1. Tuesday, rooms 215 to 218

Beds and joinery. Lighting scenes set the same day.

### 2. Wednesday, lobby banquettes

Four pieces, one delivery. Lobby closed to other trades until noon.

### 3. Thursday, walkthrough at 8am

You, Ana and Cole. Rooms 201 to 208, one hour. Comments go straight on the snag list.

### 4. Friday, rooms 219 to 222

Last guest rooms. Snag list reissued at 3pm.

### 5. Monday, day 11

Art and mirrors, and the lobby rug if you choose Monday. Crew leaves site at 3:30pm, and styling begins Tuesday.

## Risks

### Risks and decisions

Four open. Each has an owner and a date. One needs your answer.

### Vanity tops: owner Cole, closes October 4

Three of 22 cracked in transit. The stone yard has re-cut them from the same slab. The freight insurer pays. No cost to you.

### Your decision: lobby rug, by Friday

The sealer cure ends Monday, a day later than planned. We can lay the rug Monday at 3pm or Tuesday at 7am. We recommend Tuesday. It costs $640 in crew overtime and removes the risk of marking the floor.

### Storm season: owner Ana, reviewed daily

It is the peak of hurricane season. If the county issues a watch, we stop deliveries and move wrapped pieces off the ground floor. We lose two days at most. The October 14 date allows for one such event.

### Budget: $6,180 over the $612,400 plan

Freight and labor, 1.0 percent over. It comes out of the contingency, and $31,040 remains. Nothing else is forecast to draw on it.

## To opening

### 24 days to first guests

Install ends September 27. Everything after that is finishing.
