Anon and wife-anon contracted with a builder for a new house 2 years ago. Estimate was for completion to take 11 months, but builder said that was just cushion and build would likely take 8 to 10 months. Foundation and framing habbened very fast, and excitement ensued. Then things started dragging. And since the build process is very sequential (plumbing rough-in before drywall, etc.), one single small delay would cascade into moar delays. The last 10% was excruciating….the finishing stuff like cabinets, countertops, paint, fixtures, etc., and that really dragged, often seeing weeks go by with zero activity. Wife-anon was especially frustrated and impatient at this point. Finally got moved in 15 1/2 months after process started. All is good now, but it took some time.

Maybe this whole thing anons are helping with is like that, only Q never promised a finite timetable. Frustration is understandable. The enemy is complex AF, and is predictably fighting back. Moves and countermoves complicate things greatly, and it's important to get every detail perfect. Bulletproof seems to be the objective here, and that makes sense to anon because of what is at stake. It's been a long road, but anon can see the progression, mebbe not as fast as originally expected, but it's coming along.
