I am sure the majority of your guys have started a project that began simply, and as you progressed you decided to expand the scope of the project and the end result took much more work than the original plan called for. My thread here about loosening rusted fasteners...I originally planned to put a new tube and tire on my wheelbarrow, but I ended up replacing the entire assembly because the wheel was so rusted, and modification of the original axle was required, and I decided to clean the wood handles, which resulted in replacing the handle wedges, and the wheelbarrow tray was very thin, which meant I ended up reinforcing it, and because the front tray supports no longer fit, I had to redrill and bend them....and I replaced most of the hardware on the wheelbarrow. A one hour job ended up taking at least seven hours.
What term do you use when something like this happens to you? I call it "Project creep"....
