Nervous and excited!
If you have school age kids, and the usual schedule that goes along with that, it may be the cost in time that you can't afford. It wasn't until my youngest graduated high school that I could find enough time for a boat restoration. The rule of thumb around here is to estimate the cost in time and cash and then double it. Think hard about your budget for both hours and dollars before you commit.
