Great update Swale. Any idea of costs for all this? Won't be cheap. Atleast they have brains & thinking of the future & not just here & now.

And there are some who hunger for a final dollop of success before the curtains slowly close. Be great to be a 20, 30, 40 year old and watch it all come to fruition.Quote:
