The point is.. (and the fun I suppose), if you leave a mini project like that having learned something and the end result is much better than the original, then it's been worthwhile. ;-) I couldn't have left it with the stalemate on the rear apron.. oh no. Things can disappear as much as they like as long as I don't know about it and I don't see it
Can't argue with that, Dave - as long as it remains fun and you learn something. You also have the satisfaction of knowing you have accomplished something. Did I tell you about that airport in Bhutan where the planes dissapear?
