What is scope creep?? I’m lost

Pulled paneling off in a breezeway/and the garage to find electric lines not counter sunk behind studs. Didn’t have to but felt compelled in case my kids take the house and because I’m likely to “forget” where the lines are behind drywall! Had to upgrade the flooring because it was carpet that coming loose and would be a terrible idea in a gym/shop floor for everyone to trip with power tools and weights on the shoulders. These are things we didn’t think of till after we started. And since this is are first seems like don’t think about that stuff till after we’ve already dug in and done reconstruction. Our next big project is a remodel of an old bathroom in the basement. Wish us luck!😂😂

Lmao. Yeah 5 years into buying house. Every project started small warped into much larger commitments. We are slow learners..😂😂
