The following is a rough breakdown of the cost of this project to date. I have not captured all costs but estimate that about 90% has been recorded. The first table is my wife's list (the cost that really matters), the second is the dollars.
| Item |
Cost |
| 1 |
You inaugurated the project on the weekend of our 25th wedding anniversary, when your wife was planning to have over 100 guests at our yard party - several of whom would be staying at the house and were therefore drafted into the tear down. |
| 2 |
The project still isn't completed - almost a year later. |
| 3 |
Your oldest daughter is waiting for you to finish, so she can have her car, which you have "borrowed" for the past year. |
| 4 |
The hours. |
| 5 |
The sand blasting beach in our driveway. |
| 6 |
car parts all over the house, driveway, & storage sheds, don't have to say the garage. |
| 7 |
The fumes. |
| 8 |
Other things not getting done - like replacing the doorknob mechanism to the cellar. |
| 9 |
Did I mention your time? Our time, when we're coerced into helping? |
