"you would still be in the planning stage"

"If it isn’t broken don't fix it”, should have been my reply.
Certain people in my life complain/ complained that I spent to much time planning and not enough time doing.  I will tend to agree, but they also rush into things lead to a poor result.  When I am doing a project that the results will be around for a while I like to do it right once.  And sometimes I am just waiting to see how not to do it.

Why is it that when family is coming to visit some people tend to feel as though they need to do something major around the house before that person gets there?  They are family, if they don't except you for who you are.  Then why are you rushing into a project whose results you are going to have to live with for years or tear something out to fix the problem.

So experts in my life instead of ignoring what concerns me and complaining that I am over planning or being to negative, help me plan or be ready to come back and fix what got forgot in the mad rush.  Then I won’t have to spend so much time listening to you complain about how good I am at saying "See I told you that would happen."
