If you'd like a $1000 project to become a $50,000 project, just let the government get involved. Several years ago, myself and a couple guys wanted to light an airport runway.

The government now refers to the lighting system as NONSTANDARD. LOL They sure can't say it's substandard though, we did a good job!
