After being told the job would take 6-8 weeks (back in September of 2007) the shop just told me I should have it tomorrow (1/9/2009)! We'll see...

I asked him at the beginning of November 2008 how long it would take to finish. He said 3 weeks. I said, "Okay, so if I don't have it by Thanksgiving here are your choices, 1) we start deducting $100 a week that it takes after that, or 2) I take it somewhere else and finish." He opted for the $100/week deduction. That was $600 ago. Again, we'll see...
