Yeah sometimes things seem like they are going to be a lot harder than they actually are. It's nice when it works out that way. The opposite scenario can be true as well.

Yep. I've said so many times "I'm going to do this (...project...) in a few hours on the weekend." And then it actually take me several days over many weekends lol. One problem leads to another and so on
