Welcome to the builds. Savor the journey and enjoy the outcome.

Hi and welcome to the group, enjoy the journey!! Normally I’m to be found in Northeast Scotland but by a strange coincidence I’m currently very near High Wycombe!! Looking forward to heading north ag...

Welcome to the group, its a great way to retire, you'll soon wonder how you had time to work.

Hello! All I can say is I am excited to get going on this journey, especially as proper power has now been laid in to my shed of dreams. This is really my retirement project. It's been many, many year...

@jamesbisset I always thought you had the hump about something just couldn’t work it out, so I’m clear on what it is now thanks

Got some routing done today, just the control cavity then it's drill the wire holes. Hopefully when it comes time to string up it all looks good! Attachment : 20230506_175246-01.jpeg
