Re: Why Does Everything Take So Long

I'm looking at mine in the garage after 29 years apart....................

I will never forget seeing an article back in the 70's in a Street Rodder magazine talking about this. It said something very profound.

It said if you want to calculate how long your project was going to last:

"Just add up all the time from the different parts of the project. When you have that time calculated, double it, then triple that. You will still be wrong but at least not as bad as if you went with your original number.

You can do that with the money too, same math will work."


I have been doing this stuff for years professionally and as a hobby. That article was as spot on as you can get. LOL
