Your a styrene machine.
Do you build as soon as you come in from work?

Whenever I can get away with it fella.....
If Debs is working weekdays I can get on the bench 1630 and work thru till about 1900 and then start dinner If Debs isn't working I limit myself to 1800.
If Debs is working weekends I can normally get 12-15 hours benchtime, if she's off I don't go in the Cave at all

Interesting schedule there Nems . I could never put 15 hrs bench time in , but I used too ! That's why I'm so slow . Any who the progress looks great .
