Based on that, you must be half-way done... Before I got my garage, whenever I towed my car somewhere to work on it, it was always there for no less than 10 months.
I saw the pic in your other thread & it doesn't look to me like you've got it so bad. Sometimes that's how you have to do it. My GSX was built that way & I wouldn't have anything like it if it weren't for my cousin's shop and tools.
