You need to get more than one project and have a few dents to drive in the mean while.

Please post a pic, I would like to see a 11 year restoration, so I know how to avoid the feeling you are experiencing.

I think after all the work (I can only imagine) you would be ready to enjoy a LONG break and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
