Hi David,
Good to see you back on-line, and nice to see your build. 6 Months is very quick and from what me and HAndy have seen of your build progress you certainly haven't messed around and definitely haven't skimped on quality.
No problem you taking a bit longer to IVA though, dont want you beating my record - May8th 2008 to IVA on 24th January 2009, 7 1/2 months.....
Keep it up....Andrew
