I know what you mean about "took us longer than we wanted" -- it seems like every project I go to do, no matter how simple, always takes far longer than it should, and there are always stupid complications. Last weekend, I needed to fix an underground water line I accidentally sliced -- I had every conceivable flexible PVC component EXCEPT the 3/4" straight connector I needed -- reminded me of the lyric from that Alanis Morisette song "It's like 10,000 spoons, when all you need is a knife."
