Earwig 89 Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Well if it's worth doing, you may as well do it properly and take your time.You don't want to get it all finished and starting finding things that you wish you had done or had done differently.Should be stunning when it's all done :-)Mark.
