Absolutely agree on this - never do financial reporting on the cost.
It will scare anyone and will start inhouse arguments....

Max- are you crazy?? Keeping maintenance records is fine - even encouraged,
but storing your restoration expenses in one spot is asking for trouble!!
To reduce the risk of spousal detection, it is a much better strategy to
scatter your receipts around the house. A shoebox full here, a notebook
full over there... you get the idea. If things get really bad, stash the
big ones at work.
If you must keep a spreadsheet, at least name it something discrete, like
foobar.xls

Hower's 2 rules of restoration:
1. The car is never, EVER finished.
2. Never, never add up the total spent.
