why do they all have to be finished

I love running projects! Most all of mine are and I really love the stress free ownership of little to worry about (this is if you have more than one running project and you work on the one that is not running while the other one(s) hopefully stay running). My dogs ride in my Landcruiser (project driver) and often find branches scraping down the sides on outings. Mud, dirt and claws are no worries.
