Story of my life right there. Anyone who has built a project knows this one I think.

I can also say I think the above is the sole reason my crew isn't done yet. There's so much I was going to replace anyway that's easier to get to "now", that I just keep diving deeper & deeper into the redo. It's turned into a frame off pretty much.

We may hit the target on a particular mini-project here and there, but to hit the target on the whole thing is another story. Also, along the way we see things that catch our fancy or stumble on things we hadn't budgeted. "While you're doing this and have the ______ out, you might as well go ahead and spend the extra $500 and do _______."

In the end we fall in love and get caught up in all the nostalgia. My Bronco was alot like getting married...except I probably spent more on the bronco. :oops:
In the culmination the bronco is much facile to posess.
