Ben, most people don't lose thousands of dollars by taking weekends off
and are off on weekends because their employer is closed then. Most
people couldn't make thousands of dollars by working a given weekend and
any who can might well be advised to do so and then pay someone else for
vehicle work.

Those guys should never have started projects that they didn't
understand. Maybe they should have looked into doing it the easy way.
The poptop is not part of the bed. You can install a top and then add a
bed months or years later if you decide you want that or when the kids
grow too tall to sleep up there without it. Break the project up into
logical pieces and success is easier to obtain.

I know this is neither here nor there. But if ask Warren Chapman, a lost weekend can amount to tens of thousand of lost income in his line of of work. (BTW, we both thought "we" were both insane for doing much of our work but do it anyway for the same reason Jeff mentioned.)
