    The 30-Day Refurb

    A standard scope, a fixed calendar, and a budget tracker that stops the unit from going over the cap.

    The lessons

    All 5, in the order they are read.

    1. 1. The scope that fits the cap
      Do the same list on every unit, do nothing that is not on the list, and the number stops surprising you.
    2. 2. Week one: strip, seal, and water-test
      Nothing goes into the unit until you are certain nothing is getting into the unit.
    3. 3. Weeks two and three: systems
      Power, gas, water, heat, and air, in that order, each one signed off before the next begins.
    4. 4. Week four: finish, punch, and photographs
      The visible work goes last, it goes fast when the systems are done, and it ends with a walk-through that decides whether the unit is ready.
    5. 5. Budget discipline and the tracker
      Every dollar goes on the tracker the day it is spent, and the tracker is compared to the bid sheet when the unit is done.

    The worksheet

    30-day schedule and $7,500 budget tracker

    The first block is the calendar: one row per work item, in order, with the week it belongs to. The second block is the budget tracker: one row per category, with the cap as the only fixed number and every other line waiting for your own quotes replace them.
