Watching what you do with old pieces of scrap, bringing them back to life and then putting them back doing what they were built for is just beyond me. I had enough trouble rebuilding the truck engines and transmissions over a 40 year career mate I feel I must dip me lid to you. Amazing work ethics, crazy mind and also great dreams. How is the church progressing? Mate, keep up the great work and the terrific videos. God bless you and your wife.

And having watched many of Matt's "real time" arrivals, he was simply estimating each major section as it went by in time lapse.
