   Now that you have refined your estimate, before spending both you might   
   consider if the desired result is worth the available time plus budget.   
      
   I had the same decision to make when designing and quoting custom equipment   
   and with collecting my own firewood. When overtime was available my time was   
   more valuable working it than logging. There was enough down time between   
   R&D projects to stay far enough ahead on the wood, plus cutting and handling   
   it substituted for a health club.   
      
   I could never correctly estimate the time to complete a new type of project.   
   Cutting corners early just cost more time later. Last summer's sawmill work   
   took twice as long as planned, much of it unexpectedly repairing and   
   upgrading equipment. The "2000 Lb" gantry eventually lifted 3600 Lbs. The   
   driving time to replace locally bought hardware store parts with stronger   
   industrial ones ate up half a day.

   Waiting for a critical order I hadn't planned for cost several days of   
   reduced productivity.
