Hi John:
I am with you...though I guess we all build with different motivations...none better or worse than another. I suspect I am enjoying building my new workshop as much as I will enjoy building my boat. I have deadlines every hour, every day, every week, every month.

When I enter my garage to 'finish' my workshop...the only deadline for me is when I feel ready to stop...or to play Legos with my son Dan..or whatever... Used to do some concrete/foundation work many, many moons ago...sweat a lot! Well...this one guy who was new to the states use to watch me sweat and say: "Langsam, langsam, abazeeka"(my phonetic recall)....meant: 'Slowly, slowly but surely'...still sounds good to me. I keep trying to integrate it into my day...it's all about balance...we're all bracing every day.

BTW...how is the deck coming along John?
Bob
