I don't know that it is skill as much as confidence. The most skilled guy in the country will be able to install the second one in half the time.

I've also seen installation time expressed in cases of beer instead of hours

Yes, that would be 2 cases to do the job with 1 buddy. Add 1 case per weekend for any additional buddy. However, install time may increase after 3 cases.

I'll attempt to translate that another way by saying I need to do my research and identify those lessons learned early and minimize the cases of beer. The good news is there are a lot of build threads that are fun to read.

Both are fair points. There is obviously a lot I have to learn.
