As I see it, a hobby is something you choose to do and a project is 
something you have to do.    The ceiling was just another step along 
the way to completely remodelling this house to make it as unique, 
eclectic and eccentric as I am.    Sure - I could use prefab crap and 
have it done in a month, but the hobby part is the artistic input.

The solution is to prioritize your hobbies as projects.  Then you can 
justify doing them because they need to get done <G>

Post a photo somewhere  - I'd love to see it.  Post photos of your 
other work - please!  I think we're on the same page on this one.  I 
like to do mosaic tilework on furniture.  My "Sistine Chapel" is a 
huge piece of furniture that took me 3 months to complete.

I suppose we need to take this to a list that caters to 
art/hobbies/furniture and not bore the Delorean people to 
distraction...........................LP
