That's the way to do estimation - I learned quite quickly that weighted 
best case/worst case/likely case averages are pretty effective, because 
it tends to err on the side of caution.

We've had quite the day here - our son K took a job working the front 
desk in our apartment building, and he arrived early this afternoon.  
We've been showing him around town today, just got back from seeing 
Guardians of the Galaxy a second time (for us - he hadn't seen it before).
