Currently I have a spreadsheet that is very intense tracking all expenses by trade/vendor and it also shows my budget with another column for under/over budget too...let us know how it turns out...agreed so needed!!

Much less labor intensive if the walls are down to just studs.

OK.. still pretty hi.. and keep in mind many of these is done with pipe burst no digging or new hot tap,, My brother in law does them in the SF Bay area as they are required on certain age homes if your transferring title.

If you have gas heat, gas hot water heater, gas range, gas dryer, 100 amps is usually enough.
