I've done a spreadsheet estimating the cost of a project and I've done some matrix documents to articulate for my own understanding various pieces of my projects, but I haven't thought about putting one into project management software.
I used to use Microsoft Project to identify the critical paths and required resources for projects, but only on the job, not on personal stuff. That software is installed on the computer I'm using right now, but I only use it to look at projects others are managing.
And since I'm more of a customizer/hot rodder than restoration guy I've also used graphics programs to 'photochop' some ideas. I'm not very good at that.
But restoration oriented project management software isn't something I've seen. Can you post the names or links to some of the examples? I'd like to learn more.
