You need to have a place other than your living room to work and you need to avoid the temptation to buy "just this one" high dollar component.
Oh - and you need to find a way to work the word "frankenbike" into your posts.

Yes family man (1yo in tow), and while I do have a basement storage unit, a lot of wrenching does get done on the porch and in the living room LOL. My lady HATES it. This is definitely a frankenbike, and I have pieced it together so far managing to spend less than $150 including paint. So far so good! Can't wait to see how it rides.
