Good luck mate. I've done something similar too.
Jobs and family come first but don't let it go too long or you'll find yourself in your 60's, arthritic and less than supple to complete what you started.
Best of luck o/s!

And Welcome to Europe when you get here! Some nice shows you can attend wilst you are here 
And if you get bored and want to work on a vert, just plan a holiday to the Netherlands 😉
Good luck!
Dennis

I can't believe it's been 10 years since the vert went into storage. After a stint in Switzerland and a return to Oz, the workshop is bigger than ever! A change of jobs has brought a kinder work-life balance and now, hopefully time to get the vert back together. Stay tuned as I rediscover all the work that is yet to come...

Welcome back. I followed your build and it is always my fallback for inspiration when I want to see something done perfectly.
