Oh man, this is up there with the story I heard of the guy who used Excel to draw a floor plan. He just split and merged cells as needed and used different border lines to delineate the different wall types. Once again proving that Excel can be used for nearly anything whether you should or not.

Solid work on this, and I love that it takes advantage of the browser to rejigger things without having to redraw everything manually every time.
