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

I hate ballasting. I find it funny that so many say they hate trackwork as I love that part of it. I just laid down new flextrack for my tiny layout and it went well. N scale track is alot harder to deal with than HO. Now I have to ballast and instead of avoiding it I got right on it and did a third of it the other night. The rest should be done this weekend maybe. When work takes up 70 hours of the week and you have a wife and 1.5 kids, its difficult to make progress. My wife always bust my chops for never finishing a layout. So I started this little layout over and I am making it as simple as possible just to get it done for one to prove her wrong and for two, I think we may not stick around in this house for long. Back to the topic here...part of the reason I think I find it so easy to keep starting new layouts is because I like laying track so much.
