Your honest time estimate will appear here

1. Everything takes longer than you think. Double your first estimate.

2. Prep is 40% of the job. Rushing it ruins everything that follows.

3. Have all materials before you start. Hardware store runs kill momentum.

4. Stop at a logical breaking point. Halfway done is worse than not started.

Need material quantities too?
