Sit down and think it through..... tot up all the bits you need, add 20% for stuff you take for grated, then double it........ And it will still end up costing you more.

same with working on a car. if you think a job will take 1 hour, it will usually take 3 after snapping a bolt, or not having the right equipment, or noticing your ratchet has a hole similar to a vagina and having to run in the house hiding a semi, only to flog the bastard until it's sick in the porch.
