Always good to have a list to work from, I produced a spreadsheet before starting my build and worked to that. I also had this on my wall in the
garage which I would put weekly tasks on then turned it into a 'to finish' board (Sad I know!!)

the reason its so detailed is so it feels that im progressing everytime I go in the garage, rather than it taking a week to cross one thing off..
oh dear god... don't break out the project management software! its enough to bring a grown man to tears!

Good idea perhaps i should do one as i seem to go from one bit to another in no particular order.
its always a case of oh i cant fit that till ive done this oh cant do that till ive made that etc etc
any way at least you know what you need to do

yep if you can get microsoft project, you set up the order that things have to be done in too. so it helps you know what you can do and when.
it still gets confusing right enough...
