I have to admit that I was too naive to have thought the project would be straightforward. It is not complicated. But even a very straightforward building renovation and extension project would be complicated to a property novice like me because of it's complex nature.
At some points, my engineer's instinct kicks in and I couldn't help digging into the technical details of what they told me. For example, I was told about the Megaflow system only a few days ago. But I just couldn't resist my temptation of gathering information to understand how it works. After so many hours on the internet, I am probably an expert among those amateur now.
Another problem is my perfectionist side would force me to worry too much for too little. This is a home for the foreseeable future so I want it to be perfect. But it is difficult when time and money are both limited - and even worse - when I don't know what perfect is myself. So I start to worry about what if things go wrong; how can I prevent things from going wrong; and what if they still go wrong. I am driving myself nuts.
Fortunately, I do not need to rush. This is my only consolation. With the other worries in my life, I should take this project easy.
