Thanks for the input, Bomba!
Our AGMs are in Fall so we've just passed that recently. However, I definitely hear you about seeing if a second opinion has been sought, both from the engineering standpoint and the contractor (estimate) side.
I should note as well that the board has already voted to use the reserve funds to move forward with the project (which of course is fine; that's what they're there for), but payment plans, etc. are TBD. They're doing it in phases, with an eye toward refining/adjusting the estimate after the first phase is complete.
The board is recommending a 36-month payment structure though the letter notes that this will increase the funds required because it draws out the timeline. I'm hopeful that we can get more information at the meeting next week.
One step at a time, right? :-)
