*eyeroll* Says the guy who's obviously never had a house built. I know it's not meant to be taken literally, but if he told a builder to "build it the way I want it" with no particular due date, then sprang a due date on the builder at the last minute, he'd have a house that was neither what he wanted, nor finished in the time frame he hoped.

I've never known anyone who worked better without knowing the deadline, for a project that had an actual deadline.
