Light at the End of the Tunnel?

I am beginning to feel that anyone who wants to remodel is CRAZY! We started the remodel in mid-September and still are not completely done. It's going extremely slow AND the list keeps getting longer.
  • ripped out all old carpet & granite flooring
  • ripped out cabinets in kitchen & bathrooms (2)
  • put in all new hardwood flooring & tile (in bathrooms & laundry) no floors are more than 3 yrs old now
  • put in new cabinets in kitchen, baths & laundry
  • backsplash tile in kitchen
  • removed, refinished & reinstalled all trim
  • replaced all door knobs
  • texturized & repainted wood paneling in living room (all walls have also been painted)
  • got new living room furniture as well as having new curtains made!!!

The list seemed a lot longer in my head, maybe because it took so long to complete & it seemed like every little detail went wrong. It also seemed like that was all I wanted to accomplish but that was 6 months ago. Now my list of things I want to complete is growing and has almost filled up an entire sheet of computer paper, taped to my computer desk as a reminder of how much I want to complete. On the top of my list:

  • repaint fireplace front
  • refinish bookshelf doors & install new hardware to match
  • install a ceiling fans in living room & 3 bedrooms
  • wash entire exterior siding
  • LANDSCAPING
