Re: A Couple Hours' in the Driveway.....yeah right!

Looks good.

Here's a little "rule of thumb" I use when figuring out how long I have to work on something.
I look at the project and mentally figure out in my head how long it will take. Then I double the number and go to the next larger time period.
For example: I look at a job and figure "15 minutes."
Going by my above calculator, I double the number to 30, and go to the next larger time period, hour.

And voila, 30 hours.
If things go really well, I can get it done in that time frame.
