676 hours to build that? The equivalent of seventeen 40 hour weeks?
Does that include the time it took to grow the freaking trees? It's
nice enough, if that's your thing, but where did all that time go?


Looking at the log file, he built it over an 18 month period. If you
consider during that time, he likely had to get tools and supplies out each
time to continue, it's not all that unusual for excessive time to be
consumed. It takes a hell of lot more cumulative time to build something
when it's done on a piecemeal basis than when it's built mostly on a
continuous stream.


Thanks. There is that too. Even if you don't have to put everything
away, picking back up Saturday morning where you left off Sunday evening
takes a little to get back into the swing.
