OK, I'll fill in the other end of the spectrum.  As a weekend
enthusiast, I'm going on eleven years for one run-of-the-mill Autopiano.
Having decided to "do it right" and take no shortcuts, I still have just
a little work on the upper stack before I call it done!  This will be a
real test for the work I did some five years ago.

I can appreciate Niels Berkers' comments regarding competing time
demands.  We moved to a "fixer-upper" house, my mother-in-law had a
lengthy illness, and my regular job kept me fully occupied.

I suspect that at this rate the Recordo I have in the garage will take
me to retirement.

Slow goin' in the steamy South,
