Cole, you are always a riot man.. nice diggs you got there not have a plan. Is that post modernist or something? Very cool.. how many sq ft? I seriously like that, might have to beg,borrow or buy your "plans" and build something new. Beginning to get tired of the city cause I can't seem to get all the cars in one place!

Turtle, the trick is to just keep it moving along.. if you've got some spare time head to the garage and do your thing, check it off as go.. but go!

Oh, and by the way.. here's a pic of the WBS I've been working from.. :eek:
The fancy Excel jobby never took shape cause this ain't work.. it's pleasure!

Sorry Turtle, but wanted to prove I actually put a plan on paper once.

Cole

Whoa... wait just a minute. No one cares the sqft of the living area. How big is the garage!!! :)

Planning is easy,

Day 1 diassemble.
Day 2 go to cash machine & parts store.
Day 3 log onto Pelican & order mass parts with Visa.
Day 4 continue disassembly & find out more parts you need.
Day 5 repeat day 2
Day 6 repeat day 3
Day 7 apologize to wife & buy her a nice dinner.
Day 8-10 wait for new parts from Pelican to come in the brown truck.
Day 11 start reassembly.
Day 12 log back onto Pelican and order the other parts you missed that are critical for reassembly.
Day 13-15 wait again for the brown truck to arrive.
Continue this entitre process over & over until you get the car back on the road.

PM me and I'll send you a nice WBS with pictures of an engine drop, a clutch rebuild, and a engine top end overhaul. Oh, the WBS will not be in MS Project, it will not include resources (just one guy, right?), it will not include cost, schedule, or performance metrics because I don't have a spend plan, I work slow, and I won't know if it works until I turn the key.

I am the PM, deputy PM, scheduler, acquisition manager, logistician, safety inspector, finacial analyst, and QA monitor.

That pretty much covers it. :) But then again, don't forget risk management and resource management. LOL My wife handles those responsibilities for me...

PMI.org would love to hear from us i'm sure! :)

I write down casual lists of things i want to do to the car on pieces of paper. Sometimes more than one list gets started - like right now I have a seperate list of things to do including valve adjustment, compression and leakdown, and another injector flow test next time I remove the intercooler... soon.

I want to remove the entire rear suspension and replace the worn out and distorted rubber and steel stock trailing arm bushings with rennline spherical bearings and resize the inner diameter of the currently too tight urethane bushings for my weltmiester adjustable springplates a little bigger so they stop binding and pivot easier and then install grease fittings to regrease them on the car.
I redid the worn front suspension with ER polybronze bushings, new balljoints, and tie rod ends last spring and that made a huge improvement.

The rear suspension will wait till November when the temperatures, humidity, and mosquitos calm down a bit.
I also won't start a project like removing the rear suspension that could disable the car for 4 -7 days or more this time of year and make it impossible to drive it somewhere safer if a hurricane hits here during september or october.

You can always hire my company to handle your project management...(joking of course) but seriously - a WBS for a car project? Dude you're way too into it :) best of luck!!!

Welcome to the Prime Universal Group in case you really want the professional touch

Hey, I am a PMP and I train wannabe PMPs and do project management consulting. So that is my life... why not extend it to the garage :)
