Finally Done with 1000 Piece Puzzle

I have no concept of how long completing a puzzle takes, and don't really understand how many pieces constitutes a large puzzle. My wife suggested I get my mom one for her birthday with pictures of the family, so like an asshole I got her a 2000 piece one.

You know she's not going to put your face in the puzzle when she does it, right?
 
We do a puzzle every few months in our house.

Last one we did was back in August before my older son headed off to college. It was a 2500-piece puzzle of the Grand Canyon.

Took us three weeks to finish and was fucking brutal.
 
Got a puzzle for a friend who has kids. It looked really cool to me, it's of ocean fish and it's got like a frame kinda thingy so when you're done you can hang it on a wall. Thought he & his kids would be really excited, they enjoy going on vacations in Hawaii & snorkeling. Asked him about it a few weeks ago & he said they are 'hoping' to do it next year. Now I feel like stealing it from his house. Logic tells me that's a bad idea. So I may just buy the puzzle for myself.

Buy him a puzzle that is just a picture of an asshole.
 
It took me about 5 days with about 2-3 hrs a day. No reason to do it and gonna break it up tomorrow and put it back it the box but I Did it.

Haven't done a puzzle it so many yrs but this one felt easy. Every little box was just a box. So I made a system to do each flavor one and a time and it is went smooth.
You need to get a nice puzzle board.

I would buy you one but then my wife would call me gay.

When COVID first hit & everyone was forced to stay home, we did a few of the Ravensburger Disney puzzles. We've got them all now, with 5 or 6 being completed. Once they're all finished we plan on mounting & hanging them in my wife's office.

I'll probably get a couple done in November when I'm recovering from my surgery.

If anyone knows of a good quality puzzle table/board, PM me, as my wife wants one for Christmas. Ideally one that can be easily packed up so the young ones don't destroy the puzzle.
 
Try a 1000 piece that is all one color.

You should frame it bro!
