What are the things you hate to do in model railroading?

[FCIN]

Painting and ballasting the track! Ugh! Seems like it takes forever to do just a couple of feet and often ends never being completed! Wiring doesn't phase me at all and I usually can't wait to get that done so I can start operating. Getting a layout operating does have its drawbacks, as often very little else gets done! Too easy to make up a switch list and spend a pleasant hour or so switching; all the while day dreaming about what the finished layout will/may/might look like.
