I'm totally unmotivated to work at the moment. My life got a kick in the crotch just about 3 years ago now when my shoulder finally got so bad I had to stop working for my former boss.
Right now its bugging me alot again, keeps me up and night, and waking up unable to feel your hand for about 10 mins is pretty disconcerting. So I guess its self preservation that keeps me from working all out, but there are other reasons.
For example I called the mill that I placed a custom order of hardwood wtih to find out whether my order was done. I was originally told 3 weeks, its now almost 7 and I'm being told at least another week. The french doors that I ordered over a month ago finally arrived last monday, and I got to them on Friday of this weekend to start staining, managed to get them about 3/4 the way ready to install when I realized that the labelled size was incorrect and the one set of doors had to go back cause they were too small.
The other set is looking pretty nice, but they're not entirely complete yet either.
I did get some personal vindication about the overall job. The complaints about things not being done, and certain things taking to long seem unfounded to me at the moment, since after carefully looking over my original estimate about 80% of the stuff on that list is done, and things that aren't done were delayed by electrical needing done, and the furnace being installed. Most of the stuff from the original estimate was done months ago, and was only supposed to account for about 5 months. Right now I'm at 8 months and counting.
I've done in inordinate amount of work for free, at my expense, since I've been paying my Dad throughout as I needed his help. I personally have made almost nothing on a nearly $50,000 renovation.
I asked someone this question the other day and I'll ask it here.
Have you ever worked for 4 months for free?
