Gold (5pts) to James M. Progress well documented.
Silver (3pts) to Keith R. for documenting the essential building steps. Look forward to future progress.
... and good luck to Bruce Miller with his recovery, we hope you get better soon and rejoin us, it is a long build and there will be plenty of time to catch up.
