There's a thread going on over on another forum I haunt, and I like the theme, so I figured I'd start a similar one here.

Obviously, we all know that they're never truly "done", but.........

Tell us how you managed to get to the finish line on your long term project. Seems all too often we tend to get sidetracked and the project hits the back burner, or ends up sold to the next guy long before it ever sees the road. How did you get back into the swing of the build after going stagnant. How did you find the time while raising a family? Losing a job? Anything, really, that brought progress to a stand still; how did you manage to find a way to see it through to the end?
