That may well be the best ever comment for these kinds of threads.
Folks that fail to follow that logic are likely the ones that get started on these projects, then abandon the whole idea when the effort and money starts to get out of hand.
The OP should read that sentence over and over until they fully grasp it.
The OP should also consider that most folks who do a total gut/restore/rebuild take two to five years to complete the project.
This time frame can be a lot shorter if you are skilled, have all the tools, a place to work on it inside out of the weather, and are retired or semi-retired.
But a person who is still working for a living, working on it outside in their spare time, and having to learn as they go, it's going to take a while.
