When I was planning for the works here in Portugal. I thought I could rebuild both places, the tiny house in the farm, and the apartment in the stable. I am spending way more than I predicted in the farm, just because once you start, you keep facing new options you can do now that everything is easier as you have the time, tools and conditions (as everything is already upside down).
My friend who was supposed to be with me for 3 months, just had to leave, so will have to hire some local company to help. And I have just given up on converting the stable into an apartment. It will be a storage and workshop until next summer.
We tend to under estimate work on things we are not experts on, and then the initial budget increases in time and cost, but I am happy to do part of the work myself, saving some money and also learning a little bit from the professionals. But yeah, no beach time for us this summer eather, although we may go to some of the many river beaches around here.
Money pits!! :D
There is always the desire to get things done faster, but sometimes it makes more sense just to wait a bit, live a bit, and see if the plan still holds over time.
As long as you spend some time with family, not working. It might not be where or as much as you want, but some is better than none.
