Using Google Drive for project management and estimating

I recently started working for a small general contracting company as a project manager, and this is really my first time in a major role like this. They've been using Google drive to organize jobs, create estimates, etc., and it works alright. But having used their method for about a month now, I'm trying to optimize it and make it more productive and efficient. They don't want to pay for a subscription to a true management software, because the scale of our jobs aren't really that massive. However, we do occasionally build custom homes and do fairly major remodels.

Does anyone here have any experience using Google Drive to essentially manage/estimate/organize all their jobs? If so, have you come up with a good system to make things flow efficiently? I think it would be great to have a template for new projects, starting with client information, then estimating, getting sub bids, applying the bids, making notes, and having it all populate a finished looking final draft ready to present to the clients.

I know most of you will probably say just pay for the damn software, but unfortunately I'm not actually the boss, so I'm trying to make my job as productive and easy as possible.

How to adjust CTL track tension (VIDEO)

It’s one of the simpler maintenance chores you can do, but adjusting the tension on the tracks of your compact track loader is critically important. If your tracks get too loose, they may spool off the undercarriage and put you in a bind – replacing tracks in the field takes at least two people and often auxiliary equipment. If your tracks are too tight, they can damage the undercarriage and lead to premature wear. We teamed with Leland Garrison, service technician at Thompson Tractor in Birmingham, Alabama, for a quick lesson on the proper way to tension the tracks on a Cat CTL. Note that different brands of CTLs will have different ways to accomplish this task, so consult your owner’s manual or your dealer and follow their instructions for the brand of machine you have.
