Showerthought: My neighbor's fence project made me rethink my whole approach

Last week, I saw my neighbor Dave in Phoenix start his new fence by setting all the posts at once with quick-set concrete. Three years ago, I did mine one post per weekend, letting each cure fully. His whole line was up in two days, and it looks just as solid as mine. Has anyone else switched to doing all the big prep work in one go instead of spreading it out?

Honestly, this is how most home projects go. We overthink the "right" way and end up making extra work for ourselves. Sometimes just getting it done is the better method.

My dad spent three weeks researching deck sealants before just painting it.
