Once you pull up flooring or open the skirting, older mobile homes often reveal damage you didn't plan for. A roof leak becomes a subfloor repair, and the budget you started with is gone before the kitchen. This spreadsheet keeps every project in one list, with a cushion for surprises, and tracks what you actually spend. You always know what you planned, what you've spent, and what's left.
