Re: Who all tracks their spending and plans on their projects?
I don't know if I should thank or cuss y'all for this thread. I asked my wife to build me a spreadsheet to track my costs. I had some stuff written down and a BIG pile of receipts. I called out the date, store, costs and items to her. When we were finished, I had over $5000 in a truck that is a BARE FRAME sitting on sawhorses in the back yard! My kid remarked that if you figure in the time I've spent, that would cover a note for whatever I wanted to drive! The wife didn't say anything, but kinda looked at me funny. I used up all my wit and my comeback was: Shut up Y'all!
As Forrest Gump said, "I'm not a smart man."
Anyway, I'm not unhappy, but kinda scared at the amount of dough I've spent on engine parts, paint and blasting sand. My original estimate was a couple of years and $3500-5000. Yeah Right! I still wanna track the costs of this project, so thanks for the inspiration (I guess!)
