No honest effort goes unrewarded. Keep up the good work. There might be another project after this that you are supposed to do, that you wouldn’t be able to do without having done this one.
It took me two years to build a swing for inside my home. It messed up the living room for two years. I had to redo parts of it. It’s finally done, and I’m having a “swinging great time”. (And I can use the living room again.)
