Is it my impression, or do even the simplest appearing jobs take a lot longer than they first appear? Items that are
supposed to be "bolt in" replacements don't fit, screw holes don't line up, etc.

Yep, pretty much everything takes twice as long as I expect, even when I expect it to take twice as long as I
expected....

You're talking to the guy who has yet to complete his three-year hotel
remodeling plan. We celebrated our fifth anniversary in August...

Ok, many years ago I figured I could remodel the bathroom in the week
between Christmas and New Year's (when I was a teacher and had the week
off). So, the day after Christmas I walk into the bathroom with an air
chisel and remove walls, ceiling, floor. I took it all down to the
studs. Anyone want to guess how long it was before it was finished?

If you would give us the year that you started I could probably guess the
year it was done. Plus or minus a year or so.

Down the hill of our freeway exit ramp, 35W(N) & US10(W), is an expansive
new townhouse development. Margene said it took less time for them to build
125 units than it took me to put up the shelves in the garage. In my
defense, they used nail guns!
