Dear Andy:

It's easy to think of such projects from a business point of view, of
how much you make per hour by the time the job was finished.  But it
sounds like what you have here is part (or altogether) a hobby.  Profit
becomes much less a factor.  As we all know, some hobbies are very
expensive and in the end provide no financial gain at all.  So why
not?!  :-)
