The Minimum You Need

Separate the essentials from nice-to-haves, account for what you own, and total the missing items using your quotes.

What you have, and prices for what you need

Tick what you already own. Enter your own price or quote for anything missing; leave unknown prices blank.

The list is a basic starting point, with space and material requirements. Price totals use your quotes; unpriced essentials are shown separately rather than assumed to be free. Your entries stay in this browser.
