The project is a construction project. 

It has various elements to it, ex: front porch, cottage terrace, guest bathroom, etc

I hired a contractor, project manager

 

However, I want to keep my own track of how many men arrive, when they arrive, what they work on, etc.

I also need to keep track of material costs

The goal being I can eventually total up the # of man hours spent on a particular project

I will use this information to budget for futue projects

 

The project grid as it stands is really not geared for this as it is much less detailed than I want, i.e. it really has start end, etc on a single line translated in the Gnatt chart

 

Thanks for any advice, help suggestions, etc.
