Oh so true. Sometimes i must learn the hard way... lol and i so have.... I will be very honest here and if anyone reads this and is thinking about doing this kind of work/restoration, DO NOT HURRY!!! Honestly, the hardest thing i have had to understand and learn is to not hurry or say, "it will be ok that way", or "its good enough". Take your time, do it right, in the end you will be so happy you do!! Instant gratification only means headaches later!!
I have learned so much from so many on here, to many to honestly name, but one thing i have learned from just about all of them, take your time.
