That's how it is anytime you start a project like yours.
It starts out fixing a couple dents. Then you find there's a lot more than you think. Next thing you know you spent a $1000 on materials and 100 hours of your time.
Then after all that there's a spot or two that didn't come out well and it drives you crazy even though no one esle sees them.
Then you go sailing for the first time and capsize and while righting the boat you slip on that just polished hull landing hard on the hull with your knee leading the way. Crunch,Dent. grin


Have Fun

The guy doing my work speaks very little English and I very little Spanish. When his buddy called to discuss what was going on he had mentioned that while he was fixing the stuff I had asked to have done it was only a few more hours and few more bucks for materials to fix the other stuff.

I figured this guy has had his hands on just about every Inter/NACRA 20 out there may as well let him have it.
