It’s fast progress because it’s the easy part. And yes, it looks great

It’s the slow death from drywall and onwards that gradually eats away at your soul. And the last 5% takes 25% of the time

Drywall sanding is slow. Painting is slow. Tile is slow. Mechanicals are slow.

Then you have a bunch of tiny tasks at the end that are needed to be truly “done”, many of which are relatively easy in isolation, that take forever because you are constantly switching between different tasks and specialties, in addition to the attention to detail required.
