Well done sir, congratulations!

I hope you are enjoying the payoff for all of those long hours of stress, work, and difficult decisions that all projects seem to have.

Thanks Omar. Not over yet. Lots more to come. I'll keep this alive with updates and pics. I'm thinking of putting together a "lessons learned" post, or series of posts, outlining some of the mistakes I made, some insights and, well, lessons that will hopefully help others avoid the pitfalls and some of the tribulations I encountered.
