Too true mate! I haven't learnt yet. I always seem to underestimate the final few weeks. Maybe next time I will learn to double the estimated end date when I'm almost done. 2 weeks to go always becomes a month in reality. Landscaping is a pain in the rain! Going for my final cert on Monday...

I project manage my duplexes. I am on site every day ensuring things are running to plan. I live a few minutes away and it's still very consuming. I can only imagine how tough it has been for you mate. Just hope for your sake that the results still yield well for you. Thanks for the candid...
