[TR] What do you think ?

I think you are way light.  I am not doing all the work on mine and I think 
I've got that many hours in just managing the project.

remember - if you are going to do a renovation/restoration of a house, car, 
boat, whatever, go get three bids.


then add them all up and that is what it will cost you.


hours, dollars, whatever . . .
