That makes sense — thank you for clarifying.

The SBA site is down for me right now, but I’ll pull the current balance for #7908 and send it to you as soon as I can.

On the renovation costs: can you share the exact numbers you’re using for the ~$20k (what line items / vendors, and approximate amounts), so we’re modeling from the same baseline?

If you say `send exactly this`, I’ll send it.

It shows:

- Job: `#8098`
- Invoice: `#121`
- Service date: `Dec 16, 2025`
- Payment terms: `Upon receipt`
- Due date: `Jan 23, 2026`
- Amount due: **$35,933.16**

If that **$35,933.16** is “after subtracting the $15,000 already paid,” then the pre-payment total would have been **$50,933.16**.


text: can you ask for more clarity - this looks like we owe $35k but she said $25k ....

Thanks — I looked at the invoice snippet you sent.

It shows an Amount Due of $35,933.16 (and you mentioned subtracting $15k already paid). I’m confused how that lines up with the ~$20k renovation number you referenced.

Can you clarify:
- Is the $35,933.16 the current remaining balance on the renovation work?
- What was the original total before the $15k payment?
- And what exact number do you want us to use for “renovation costs” in the baseline?

If you say `send exactly this`, I’ll send it.


text: hmmm... maybe you do need to parse that PDF - can you convert to image and OCR?


text: sorry!  continue!


text: Pulling in Jimmy’s core memory/insights (per AGENTS.md), then I’ll re-open the Garcia invoice PDF/images and get a working OCR/text extraction so we can reconcile the $35,933.16 vs ~$20k numbers.


text: I’ve got the PDF pages converted; next I’m going to preprocess the images to 8-bit (the originals are 16-bit RGBA) and re-run OCR so we can extract the full invoice totals/line items reliably.


text: OCR is now working; next I’m going to extract the key totals/line-items into a clean summary (and save it in-repo), then draft a short clarification text to Lisa about the $35,933.16 vs her ~$20–25k renovation figure.

From the full PDF (`garciainvoice-121.pdf`) via OCR, here’s what it says:

- Garcia Construction invoice `#121` (job `#8098`)
- Service date: `Dec 16, 2025`; due date: `Jan 23, 2026`
- Job total: **$51,883.16**
- Payment history: **$15,950.00** (check, May 05)
- Amount due / remaining balance: **$35,933.16** (matches `$51,883.16 - $15,950.00`)

Major line items called out:
- Basement Bathroom: $17,636.00
- Kitchen Remodel: $14,300.00
- Design/Permits/Project Coordination: $6,300.00
- Basement Shower: $4,500.00
- Extra concrete: $1,650.00
- Electrical extras: $875.00

I saved a clean summary in-repo at `records/finance/2026-02-26_garcia_construction_invoice_121.md`.

```text
I pulled the full Garcia Construction invoice #121 (job #8098).

It lists a job total of $51,883.16, shows a $15,950.00 check payment on May 5, and an amount due of $35,933.16.

That’s quite a bit higher than the ~$20–25k “renovations” number you mentioned earlier. Can you clarify what number you want us to use for renovations in the baseline, and whether there were additional payments after this invoice was generated?
```


text: also, i notice it does not include any of the costs for the upstairs bathroom, which i assume is going to be around the same cost as the kitchen.


text:
You’re basically right: invoice #121 is scoped to **basement bathroom + kitchen remodel + basement shower + coordination**, plus a handful of material allowances.

It does **not** show an “upstairs bathroom remodel” line item. The only upstairs-related bits I see are small allowances like:
- `Bathroom Faucet $150.00` (includes basement and upstairs)
- `Bathroom hardware $180.00` (includes basement and upstairs)

So if there’s real upstairs bathroom work coming, it’s likely on a **separate estimate/invoice/job**, and it could be anywhere from “small refresh” to “as big as the kitchen” depending on scope.

If you want a clean clarification text to Lisa (not sent):
```text
One more renovation question: Garcia invoice #121 looks like it covers the basement bathroom + kitchen remodel + basement shower + coordination. I don’t see a separate line item for the upstairs bathroom (other than a couple small allowances that say “includes basement and upstairs”).

Do you have a separate estimate/invoice for the upstairs bathroom work? If so, what total/current balance should we use for the baseline?
```


text: put them both together.

text: did you pay that out of the savings account and do the numbers for the savings account reflect that adjustment?


text: no.. don't you figure it out - that's what i want to ask Lisa.  is the $65k she cited for the savings account - does that reflect the $35k payment?


text:
```text
Quick clarifying question so we’re modeling from the right baseline: when you mentioned ~$65k in savings, was that before or after you paid the $35,933.16 Garcia invoice amount?

If that payment came out of savings, what’s the updated savings balance after that payment?
```

Latest from Lisa (2026-02-26 06:42):

- She says the **$35,933.16 payment did not come out of “general savings”**.
- It came out of a **separate “renovation allocation” bucket**, which is now **~$3k remaining**.
- She says the **~$65k savings figure is the current balance**, separate from that renovation allocation.
- She’s going to check with Adam for the most current numbers and follow up.


text: let's ask her... does this mean that the cost of the upstairs bathroom will be coming out of savings?


text:
```text
Quick follow-up on the renovation allocation point: does that allocation also cover the upstairs bathroom work?

If not, should we assume the upstairs bathroom costs would come out of general savings (or some other bucket)?
```


text: and maybe add - do you have an estimate for what that will be?
