I know I would have struggled completing this build had it not been for this community.
While they say this is a virtual space, to me this community and its effect on my life is as real as it gets.
I've touched and felt every stage of the build and the relationship I built in the process with this forum.

Thanks yet again guys, I'm honoured and delighted! :rock:
