I have spent the past week getting work done around my house and have made a few observations.

· If a contractor says it will take a “few” days to complete a job it will take at least a week.

· Budgets are just goals and the likelihood of a project coming at or below the budget is about as good as the likelihood that man will be on Mars next week.

· If you think you have it all figured out you don’t; there is always something you missed

The house is looking good but boy will I be glad when I’m done, of course then the really hard part starts trying to sell it.
