How do Little Projects become BIG ones?

[Stupid Fast]

Yesterday morning, I woke up and decided to pull the grass out of the flower beds. Next thing I know, I am at Lowes buing a truckload of retianing wall Block. Have any of you ever put one of these in? What a pain in the ass. Well, 36 hours later. I Have 40' (only started out wanting 25') in and need to go back to Lowes tomarrow after work and pick up another 50 or so block.
So how does this happen? I cant figure it out. When I went to build ny deck the same thing happend. Started with a 14'x16, Ended up with a 34'x 16' with two levels and a 6'x4' extra for the Grill.
Does any one else do things like this?

Absolutely can relate. Everything I touch is like that.
Every boat restore or install project I've ever tackled has been like that too. eek!

About a month ago I recall thinking, "That Hot Boat site is a cool place to hang out. I should start posting there once in a while."

One of many examples. Went to Vacume the SuperV and ended up replacing the floor! :rolleyes: Wife came out an Hour or so into it to see what was taking so long, only to see all the interior in the front yard and wood chips all over the place. :D

Usually my big projects are the ones my wife started and couldn't do(as predicted). Then they become my projects where you have to fix the F'up first before progressing forward.
Perfection take time so the project ALWAYS becomes larger than originally planned

I was hoping this was a breast implant thread... eek! :cool:

Mandelon,
Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about :D

Umm yea, like this weekend was suppose to be a prettying up two days. Here I am bringing two boats that look like shit to Needles. Instead of cleaning up the boats and motorhome, and getting tires for the motorhome. I spent Sunday replacing bearings on my boat trailer. I didn't even get my brand new stereo in the motorhome.
I'm so pissed, nothing like a 30 year old 8-track
and speakers.
What was supposed to be a beer drinking,
kick-back weekend turned out to be a thrash session.
