{"product_id":"home-renovation-budget-tracker","title":"Home Renovation Budget Spreadsheet","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis renovation budget spreadsheet tracks the money room by room, instead of as one big number you stopped believing weeks ago. It is for anyone mid-project who has lost track of what a room was supposed to cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease read:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a tracker tool only, not financial, tax, legal, medical or any other professional advice or advisory service. It records and calculates what you enter; you are solely responsible for checking all figures, rates, dates and results and for every decision you make. By purchasing, downloading or using it, you accept these terms (your statutory consumer rights are not affected).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEstimate against actual, per room\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery line carries an estimate and an actual, with what is still to pay and whether it came in over or under flagged automatically. Per-room totals add themselves up, so a home renovation that drifts shows you exactly where. Every figure on the dashboard is calculated from the tabs behind it. Nothing is typed into a summary, so the front page can never disagree with the rows it came from.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat is included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBudget:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200 lines with estimate against actual, still to pay per line, over or under flagged, and per-room totals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 rows with three prices per job side by side, what shopping around saved, and each quote marked accepted, quoted or rejected; twelve trades are listed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTasks:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200 rows by room and by state, with done tasks fading out and jobs left counted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDashboard:\u003c\/strong\u003e live, read from everything above\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe workbook has seven connected tabs, and every tab reads the same source list, so nothing is entered twice. It doubles as a quote tracker and a cost tracker, and as a remodel planner for the jobs still to do.
