Finish
In is casing and secure on my stair wall

So what about the kit?

140 weeks is real long as I try to build it one issue at the time following all the steps 1 at the time and a bit expensive but on a 140w + period it come to the price of 1 large coffee a day.
Did not do that with the France Liner as I put aside all the part and start it only when I got all the issue and I was ready.
Real annoying thing is the way the part are send in small statement what happen is one week you received some part that will be install some 15 week later never finish a module completely it is a bit here a bit there and because it is a 140w + build, the chance to loose pieces or damage some module are greater you need a real secure space to store you build.
And if you build it as I did you do not have a complete vision of the complete build.

On the other hand for a beginner it is perfect you just follow the instruction that are so clear end detailed that it is difficult to do not have a decent build in the end.
