Yeah, I need to visit the Geek site.
After that brief (smile) interlude, I have a lot of respect for you hubster! While I can't say I'm free and clear of having projects in the middle of completion, I can say I try to limit them--after all, after retiring from the army, I had to have picked up some OC disorders about neatness and task completion. I tend to like everything in its place. I had a project to do for work last weekend (overtime) that required some woodworking and it was really nice to have a neat workroom with all that I needed right where I knew it was (and a wife who said it was OK to renovate my workroom a few years ago and buy whatever tools I needed for it).
And, ROFLOL, I even have the remnants of a wind chime (where the wood rotted) that I need to restring and hang my own self (LOL).
But, I've let the yard go for too long and now I'm working every weekend to restore it to something to be proud of. At $6,500 (and counting), it's coming along slowly. Today I'm filling dirt between the gaps of the new sod and the pro-metal edging I lined the entire yard with. On my second wheelbarrow load of dirt and only about an eighth of the way through the two football fields of ediging I need to fill against. And it's always not now in Atlanta !
So, that's one thing that stops my hobby pursuits...
PS: My daughter and I don't get along very well. As I tell the story, she grew boobs and became a beech... rolling my eyes.
