hoverfly Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 It usually takes me a year to put my interior of my car back together after putting a stereo system or some other kind of work under the plastics.

Tech Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Skirting boards in my house... 2+ years and we still dont have any skirting boards, anywhere. Just the oak flooring underlay sticking out of the edges. I think it will stay like that until about a week before we want to sell the place!

Histiletto Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I think everyone has their idea of how they want things to be, but some how life gets in the way. For instance, finding something we may have used just the other day. Searching high and low, we can't see it any where. Then a while later, our eyes just happen to glance in a direction and lo and behold, we forgot why we had been looking for it, but we now can see it. Being organized to complete projects is a life time process of constant vigilance, especially if it requires a daily patronage, like diaries or journals and/or honey-do's.

My kitchen extension on the back of our garage took 19 years to construct, very nearly finished, anybody else as quick as me?. 19 years in the same house? Damn, I've never lived longer than 6 years in any house we've ever lived in. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.

HappyFeat Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 19 years in the same house? Damn, I've never lived longer than 6 years in any house we've ever lived in. Me either...easier to move than to clean it.... I have been writing my doctoral dissertation for six years. The most progress I have made is writing to ask for yet another extension.

radiodave Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I've been remodeling my spare bathroom since December. The new paint is up, but I have to hit all the spots where the previous owner's garish paint color is still showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ps Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Helping our kids to grow up -- that's the most important long-term project i have, together with my wife . Also, she is doing her Ph.D. thesis, and i (myself being just a B.S. dropout ) help her with some technical stuff there. Developing our house and garden is another one.

dww Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 I moved into my present house 1n 1983, that's 26 years ago, time goes by so fast, my daughter was 6 when I bought my Land Rover in 1991, she now drives it, and if I have my way my grandaughter will drive it as well, If there's any diesel left in the world. That is another long term project, keeping it on the road, still as good as the day I bought it, only its a bit modified now. Can't wait for the 6.2 GMC V8 to be fitted, then it will fly. life is not a rehearsal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightsnheels Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Took me three years to write mine... taking even longer to get it published! It took me three and a half years to write my first novel after fifteen years of dwelling on it. It's been done for a year and a half and still no agent. You can't get an agent unless you are published but you can't get published without an agent. Round and round we go where we stop I don't know. Now I have just completed my second novel except for crossing the I's and dotting the T's. (a little attempt at humor there.) Hopefully I will have better luck selling this one. To the good Dr. I wish you all the luck in the world my friend.

Bad_Robot Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Have a few long term projects, mainly cars....the longest is over fifteen years and it still does not have any doors or wheels on it....but the engine runs as sweet as a nut.....should get it on the road really as it is road tax exempt.

Tallinheels Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 My project is a Mini Cooper S which is partly rebuilt i am working on the enging at the moment but it seems to be taking forever to accomplish. Will it ever get finished ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad_Robot Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 It must be a "Mini" thing as that is the car that I am trying to restore, although is just a regular Mini which has had alot of tweeks to make it special, its de-seamed, dry suspension and tuned engine....the best part of the car...maybe one day I will get around to finishing it:smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dww Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 Whats the subframe like? Have spent hours playing with mini's in the past, my favorite was a mini van ex AA, MG1100 head, fully ported and polished, went like a bird till one day it caught fire, only thing I kept was the head, ready for the next one. Last proper mini I had was a 2.2 litre (one of the last to be made had the same engine as a lotus elise) bought it for my daughter, wish I kept it as not many were made, can't stand them BMW things. Give me a Land Rover and I am happy. life is not a rehearsal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick-65 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Long term to means something that I could do in 1-2 weeks if I put in solid days on it however, with my scedule it usualy ends up being 6-8 weeks because I have to work and do other things so, I only do a little bit every day.

Give me a Land Rover and I am happy. The sub-frames are both fine as the car is dry stored. It does have a few engine mods as follows. Larger inlet and outlet valves, double valve springs, heated inlet manifold, Janspeed 3-2-1 exhaust into a Cooper S rear silencer, lightened and balanced flywheel, Powermax pistons, lightened and balanced con rods, 1 3/4 SU carburettor and finally dry suspension. I think that is all of them but it is a very long time since I have had to recall the details. Also have a Series 2a Land Rover only light mods on that like overdrive, freewheel hubs and Discovery wheels running 235/75/R16 BFG M/T radial tyres for better road holding and ride comfort also better for braking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
