Buying the house... budgeting those expenses!
>> 7.30.2009
As I mentioned the other day, I did some very necessasary prioritizing on my home projects. Of course, I can't do everything on the list right away, so I created a budget sheet to help myself track the expenses. I plan on pushing on until my (budgeted) well runs dry!
Here are some super squished views of what my sheet looks like. Sorry, it's a pretty large sheet. 

All I did was add in my over-all budget on the far right hand side under "budgeted" then fill in the rooms of my house, the projects I wanted to do, and the amount of money I want to spend. Of course, I added in some formatting so that the "flex" and "total remain" fields will change as I fill in my expenses. It's very similar to my monthly budget sheet. Which you can download here.
If you're in need of a home renovation sheet, you can download the excel sheet here (the first tab has a copy of mine and the second tab has a blank sheet).

3. go to "file" --> "export"
