Added cost: I now have to rent a scissor lift rig to make the roof peak connections at nineteen feet. That'll add about $200 to my final cost. To date, I'm at $781. I will need a few more 20' sticks of 2" PVC. I was going to couple my remnants to keep to my budget and not have to buy more pipe, but I decided I was being penny wise and dollar foolish as the coupled pipe was going to end up forming the roof line, and I don't want to increase my chances of roof failure due to a extra couplings in the system. My final cost will sit at approximately $1030, which is only $30 over my budget. I'm happy.

Austin appears to be entering a monsoon season, of sorts. After months of drought, we now have daily, heavy rains. I cannot back my rig up to move the RV, because of the deep mud, so I can't move in a lift. I suppose I'll get to finish this project by around December 1st. Very bummed out.
