Mary is so right!!!
Mary - you are so much better with words than me - love the barber comment but so true!
If you are going to do it right - you must be patient and do not take short cuts!! All it does is waste time, money, and you will produce substandard. I have heard of so many people taking short cuts since they were in a hurry to get started and then had to back up and retry years later. Yes, we all have to start somewhere, but if you are patient, start with something really nice, and do things right - one is so much better off.
