Julie...you will know when you are getting really close, when you don't bother to pick up anything in the shop, put away any tools, set up another fold up table cuz the bench/table saw, and everything flat, is covered with crap, and you spend probably 1 hour total a day looking for the right tool, piece of hardware etc...to finish up some minor detail...oh, and you have 4 cans of shop trash sitting outside and have no intentions of taking them to the dump till it's done...but will sit there, have a cocktail and stare at it...thinking...just 1 more weekend...that's where I am...hang in there girl, your progress looks great!! :thumbsup: Doug

I had two really good weeks. Figured I'd get finished in gig time.

Then I got the slows. Work, family, trips, stuff.

July looks better for time, but worse for money -- that eternal problem.

I still don't want to discuss this:

I wish I was an Admin so I could delete this entire THREAD! Thinking about how long mine is taking to finish is DEPRESSING me.

And no amount of "You're doing great!" or "Just keep at it!" is going to help me:

If I hadn't started building this, I might be actually enjoying a NORMAL sex life right this very moment!

Well, normal for me, anyways.
Here we go again!
