Perhaps in general, but there must be exceptions. For example, I gutted out the lower 4 feet of my sheetrock after Katrina (six inches of water will ruin your whole damned day, I assure you), hung new drywall, floated and textured it, installed new floors, and added a Leviton structured wiring system with Cat5e wiring and quad-shield coaxial cable while the walls were open. I also cut a non-structural wall down to counter height and did a few other long-postponed renovation projects.
Now that my home-repair tasks are caught up, I can finish installing that 5-speed manual transmission in my '65 Mustang, and maybe build another FN-FAL from a parts kit and bare receiver (though perhaps not; "timing" the barrel so that the front sight aligns at "12:00" on the receiver is one big pain in the arse).
Oops, nearly forgot... my faithful old McCulloch Pro-Mac 610 chainsaw was on the floor of the detached garage, which took more floodwater than the house. I flushed it out, got it started, and helped my cousin slice up the 18" diameter pine tree that was laying across his roof (the lucky S.O.B. - all the rainwater that went through his roof went right out through his bathtub drain!).
And yet, I occasionally enjoy a large cup of Starbucks mocha. < grin >

The problem there is that you really need a big box of different-thickness shims, to do it right, so that you can get the right timing.
But I bet you can get through the morning without one! :)
