UPDATED 9/9/15
Hey all,
Now that school is done and found a comfortable steady income, time to start collecting materials to begin working on the case. Bear with me as it might take a while to get everything constructed. I'll be fitting in work in between diaper changes of our new baby born Aug 21st 2015.
So.... this will be a build that will take a long time to complete(just warning everyone now) Just wanted to get some input while in the beginning stages of the build.
