And we had to paint it in the end instead of just staining it because after we removed all the paint, we noticed that one door was a different style wood and if we were to stain it, it'd need to be replaced. That would've turned into a year long project and probably a much more expensive one! Like you, it did teach us to better realize the amount of work we are choosing to take on.

I know I have my stack of projects that are hey, this sounds like fun... the first day. The real problem is these projects have me go spend money on stuff for them, then never complete them, so money out for nothing.

I know what you mean about not realizing what you are getting into. I thought landscaping our backyard ourselves would take two weekends. LMAO!! It took 2 months of working on it every single day. looks great!! I know what you mean about not realizing what you are getting into.
