It might be 'more correct' to clutter it with had + verb, e.g., he "had spent many hours" and all that, but why clutter the prose? To me it's readable as is. And my degree was in English teaching. But when I read novels where all the sentences are grammatically correct to the point of verbosity, I be like "Bring on the frags, the comma splices, the conjunctions, the slang." If there's something wrong with your verb tenses here, I don't even care to know what would make them "right."

I spent probably an hour writing those two sentences and they still bug me today. But thanks for giving it a look! I gotta get to yours. I had no time to read the entries today. Maybe tomorrow.

After reading too much "pedestrian prose," all grammatically correct, I grew annoyed with pedantic sounding narratives. I love Churchill's view of the taboo on ending sentences with a preposition: "That's a rule up with which I will not put."
