I love seeing DIY projects on here, from stands, to general equipment enhancers for a tank. My question is what was the longest time you spent on a DIY project and was it worth it?

I count thatDoes starting something and just procrastinating on finishing it count? If so probably two years or so for me.
I feel like I'm terrible at building stuff, so I usually will just get someone to build it for meI hate DIY projects. My limit is 1hr. If it doesn't work, I'm hiring someone. Unless a project will save me more in time spent than what I make at my normal job, it ain't worth it.

That is impressive, you did that all by yourself!!!I removed the top floor and roof of my last house to raise the dormer. It was about 40 years ago and it took me 2 years as I had to do it after work and on weekends. The house is stone. I also did all of it myself including installing the kitchen, bathroom, heat, plumbing, electricity and ac.
That was this house and it did snow like this as soon as I removed the top floor. I had to shovel snow off of my living room.
Sorry that your tank started leaking!!I mapped out plans for my kitchen tank (biocube) upgrade about 5 years ago, last week that tank started leaking slowly. So I bought a new tank, and I’m going to be modifying a cabinet for a stand that will closely resemble my original plan. It’s going to take some time as there is a lot of work that will go into this with a partial kitchen remodel also - Removal of kitchen tile, custom granite top etc. electric and network cable routing.
