I have to say, I come from a long line of do it yourself’rs. We wouldn’t dream of sending anything someone else, unless we need tools and equipment that cost too much to make it worthwhile. So between growing up in that environment and working various jobs, I have seen things fab’s out of wood, metal, ‘glass and even stone, that are amazing. I work with engineers here at WSU on their race car even. ButI have to tell you, I am truly impressed. The determination and the moxie that it took to even think about attempting this, let alone overcoming the issues you have, is impressive. Be patient and keep rolling on it. But I will humbly summit, if your anything like me, when it’s all set and done, saying that you did well over 99% of the work on it yourself, will be worth the wait. So don’t send it off to some else for the “tin” work. Do it yourself, in the end you’ll be glad you did.

Thanks a bunch Shockrod. Unfortunately other things taking precedence right now but am looking forward to progress later this year. Advice duly noted...

Life happens!!

[wellis77]

Dang skippy! And things have. My wife delivered our first child almost a month ago who had a congenital heart defect and underwent open heart surgery at 8 days old. To say it happens is a bit of an understatement, but she is doing really well now so we are pretty stoked about that.

WOW, that is crazy, I couldn't imagine.. Good luck to the lil girl! And congrats!
