Do I really need to go back through my home improvement records back to 2003 (loan origination date)?

For 2018, I was entering the mortgage interest deduction.  There is a series of question about how the money was used (pulled cash out).  Then, I get to the question: "Since you first took out this loan, how much has been spent to buy, improve, or build the home it's secured by?"  Do I really need to go back through my home improvement records to add up how much I have spent since the loan origination date?
