Jeff,
It took me 4 years to finish my cobra. I hit a lull in the middle of the project and got a little pissed. Here's what I did. Take an ordinary piece of paper. Start at the top with #1 and begin to list all of the things left to be completed. No matter how small the task, writed it down with a # next to it. Now, each weekend, simply tell yourself that, for example, #7 install carpet, is going to be completed this weekend come h*ll or high water. The following weekend move on to the next #. Before you know it, it will be finished. I did this and one weekend I stepped back and Ta-Da. It was done. Afterwards I was so mad because I had realized how close it had been to being completed the whole time. Well, giver a shot and let me know how it goes.
