    I know the feeling It took me three days just to demo and it is a small bathroom. If everything comes together It should only take me two weeks to get it back together. The new vanity toilet, sink, tile and fixtures are sitting in the front room ready to be installed after the sheet rock guys get finished. It is official I no longer have pop corn ceilings. :woohoo:

    Don't rush things. Fishing comes first, the bathroom will get done sometime.

    Fishless - have done several remodels and it seems like there are some rules/laws that come into play one every remodel. :huh:

    > There are always hidden surprises
    > A simple faucet replacement takes 3 trips to the hardware store, therefore, a remodel takes 197 trips
    > Each day goals are established and 25% of them are achieved
    > Schedule performance 4:1
    > Productivity Actual man-hours/Estimated man-hours = 4.0
    > Law - More paint will end up on you than the target
    > Allowed - You can go to pre-confession for all the wordy dirts that will be used

    The guys on TV - Actors that probably know what they are doing but there has to be a crew just off camera twiddling their thumbs waiting for the actors to get out of the way so they can get the job done. :laugh:

    Among other things the benefits are:
    > Learning to something new
    > Overcoming obstacles
    > Knowing the job is done right
    > Personal satisfaction for a job well done
