Comment is that it ended up looking pretty good.

But actually what I got is questions: was there any one thing that ate up
more time than you thought? Was it just inexperience at estimating, or was
it surprises? What were they? :-)

In one programming training class one of the handouts was a method for
estimating a project: figure out how much time it should take, then double
it and increase the time unit to the next larger one. Thus, a four-hour job
will take 8 days and a two-day job will take four weeks.

I taped it to the office door but my supervisor made me take it down.
