I would dearly like to revisit some code that works but could be better written and/or made more efficient. At the moment I am having to modify a program to add in something that was not in the original requirements. The structure is all wrong for the new feature but I do not have the time redo this and have said I feel like I am adding an illegal extension to a house! 🙁

I have the same feeling. I have a project that I completed a few years ago that I would love to overhaul. I was learning a new development methodology as I developed the project and you can tell when you look at the code. The sections that I wrote towards the end of the project are significantly better than those I wrote at the beginning.

I also really like your analogy. I may have to borrow that one. 😀
