"Work In Progress" times?



Just wondering,

How long do you folks take on your "disruptive" projects?

In my last flat I created a veritabe DIY-Hell for my wife, by having holes
in walls, unfinished wiring, switches hanging from walls etc...

I have determined not to do this in our new house and so far (three years
in) I am doing "sort-of-okay" Whilst I never leave works in an
unsafe state,
I always seem to run out of time to complete a job and tidy it off, then it
will be a week or so (usually the next weekend) before I can get back to
it.

At the moment, I am recabling like a maniac replacing  my "one cat-5
to each
plate"  (which with hindsight was utterly inadequate even on day zero)
With
a rather more ambitious 4-Cat5+Video Cable to each plate, also increasing
my
locations from seven to about 16 (including sensor wiring).  And it's
taking
>ages<  I have holes in walls, holes in floors, various stages of
plastering, cables bursting from the walls all over the shop...

Please tell me (and my wife!) that I am NOT the only one!!!! please? :)

Ian.
