Yeah, sometimes a plan does work out. 3.5 hrs to do the job sounds like you didn't run into any problems. I've done a lot of "1-2 hr jobs" that turn out to be all-day affairs.

I got home on Saturday nite from working a side job. Dead tired. Garage door was up. Strange. Unloaded my tools, tried to close the door. Bang! Door stopped. Took a look and a hinge had broke. Wife stuck her head out and said "Oh yeah, I've been leaving you voicemail and texting you on your cell phone. The garage door's broke". Oh. Grabbed a socket, took off the hinge, ran to Home Depot about 2 miles away, got a replacement and was back in 10 minutes, replaced the hinge. Smiling, I hit the button. Bang! door jammed again. Found out the cable had unwound off the pulley on the other side. Hour and a half later after digging out jacks and support pieces, jacking it up to level it, moving stuff to get a ladder by the pulley, removing parts, rewinding the cable, etc. I was finally able to call it a day. I was almost afraid to go in the house to find out what was broke in there.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
