tip of the day: stop and take a look!
During a project its always a good idea to step back and take a look before proceeding or finishing. I can't tell you how many times I've started a diy project only to modify or change what I was doing halfway through. Basically, think about your reasons for doing the project in the first place. What is your final goal? Are you meeting it? Exceeding it? Don't lose focus, but be open to changing your plan if required or desired. Be flexible. The end results could be amazing and may even surprise you.
