Project Creep; an insight

Captain Pauley has an interesting example of "Project Creep" that we are sometimes faced with, with work on our own boats.
Hop on over to his blog site to read his blog, and come away with a smile; yeah, I've been there.
He starts out by giving us a definition
"Project creep is when you start out to build a Mini-Cooper and end up with a bus. It’s endemic in a boat restoration project and Daydream is no exception. If you remember back to the first Project Daydream article, my daughter and I were going to restore Daydream on a budget and to a time frame. We’ve resisted project creep as best we could, but it’s time for me to admit a certain amount of defeat on that subject."
