Default How long does it take you to comeplete a project?

I took my motorcycle apart in July . It still is not comeplete . I have an antique safe I want to finish restoring , a camaro I need to finish , a civil war muzzler loader to finish and an antique windmill to comeplete .

Does anyone else get the feeling if they retired now they would have to live to be 150 years old to get all their projects done ?

Rick

Took about 2 weeks to completely assemble my bike and have it on the road. About 2 months if you include the tear down, powdercoating, and paint. MY dad's took about a month and a half for complete assembly. Both are still a work in progress

Rick I'd like to see a picture of the windmill [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] any pics?

Oh uh..projects never finished, how bout this. Shortly after my wife and I moved into this house, we got an 8X10 shed and started to paint it to match the house. Same base color and same trim color. Well my wife got bored about half way through the project and wouldnt help me anymore so I stopped also. Lets see that was about Dec of '99....

I have been working on my 1966 mustang for 2 years now, everything from all new body panels to engine to interior.. This winter its disc brakes and power steering and trans.. I will find something that needs to be done for next winter.. I finally got my 1972 John Deere 110 completely restored that took about 3 months... There seems to always be a project or something to fix and time is just flyin by! I wonder how many hours i spend in my garage each year[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]..


Rick,
Get some photos up, Some of your projects and the shop... we all would like to have a look[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
