And going forward he use it to trial fit everything and link the cells to another sheet with inventory information for home owners insurancein the same doc.  Sounds better than cad or visio to me. =)

Cannot agree more.  It is amusing in a way - never thought of doing a floor-plan in excel.  It's totally creative, inventive, using what you have at hand, and much better than learning a new tool for such a small job.  And yes, the possibilities (linking, etc) are quite interesting.  I'll usually jump into visio or sketchup, but this will make me think next time i want to draw something.  Must be a big house to have such a massive basement!

Lol,
Excel was used cause I do much of my planning at work and that's the best I had available.  Google sketch looks cool but I can't install anything to office PC.  Did measurements on graph paper at home and then sketched it up in Excel to "pretty it up" for posting! :)  Other tabs in same file show Cab breakdown, estimated costs, links to supplies, etc. 

The basement is good sized, basement seems extra large I think because it is under the entire house, and very little unfinished area down there.  Spent Sunday walking 375 dricore panels into the basement and stacking them up.  Once they're acclimated to temp/humidiy, I tear up carpet, perform any needed cement repair, and then start laying subfloor!  Crossing fingers for no mold/water damage!!!
