Dan,
A massive well done, you deserve it. You're post didn't drag on at all, i really enjoyed reading it. I should finish my hour building this week and start my CPL, next week. As you pointed out there are so many highs and lows on this long winding road. It is so nice to hear that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and not the usual gloom and doom that's normally posted on here. Best of luck with the TR. Keep us posted on your progress.
Andy
