Troll Hunter Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Having plans, schedules and targets are just programming ourself for failure. We need to accept that it'll take as long as it takes! SWMBO always disrupts plans with "Honey do's". This year I have been lucky, in that I have totally stripped my 110 CSW, all body parts separated, and chassis, bulkhead and many other parts exposed to road salt, have been sand blasted and delivered for hot dip galvanising. Should have 49 bright shiny bits back in a couple of weeks. Hoping to start body respray and mechanical rebuild over the winter. However, this was planned to be done in early 2017, and rebuild completed this year. Where did the summer go? Oh yes, we did build a 20 x 12 boat house, which needed a planning/building permit, complete with power supply, during the summer. Yes, that took some time! Let's face it, we are always optimistic in our project plans, but as long as we're enjoying our hobby, we are, in fact, always achieving our objectives.
