Everything I've quoted on so far has been my own new work or mods of my
work.  So I know it fairly well!

When doing a new .Net, in my case, all have been ASP.Net application, I
quickly boiler-plate the site together, go in a cleanup all the junk the
coder leaves behind and lastly I do not give fixed estimates...not on a
fully programmed sites. 

MS makes web code that is not always compatible with other browsers and
tends to send code that should be running at the client end off to the
server. All this fixing can take time. Some sites that have thousands of
lines of code and may only take weeks to do but then some strange anomoly
can hold me up for about a week on 50 lines of code.

The big plus in all this is that I now have a hundred or so routines built
in JQuery/Javascript.

One day I may tackle a real .Net desktop application but not until I have
enough snippets and samples of fully tested code. 

Right now very few of my clients are upgrading to desktop apps as the costs
are little over the top and web apps are so much more versitile.

I used to always believe that I could do something in much less time that it
actually took me.  Then I started to really drill down to see how much time
a project would take.  Lately I've adding 30% to my best estimate, which
helps me get closer to actual time.  If a change is needed, I estimate that
too, no matter how small.

So what I've been doing is over-estimating, to compensate for my
over-optimisim!

LOL, all projects are predominantly over time and budget.
