All I can say is that it does get easier.

Wait until you spend your first night in it after they give you the keys, nothing beats that feeling that you own it !!

Sadly you will also feel it the first time you have to fix something too... but that is later

I also saw spray cans of that hammered paint you did your frame in ..... I could not picture it in the photos, but now I have a better idea of what you were shooting for with that. Cool way to "patina" texture your frame man. I almost bought some on principal.
hey thanks man on the house, yea we cant wait. I actually used the spray cans on the hammered paint, i guess it didnt hammer up due to the primer that we had sprayed on the frame, cuase i painted some other just bear metal stuff and it looked awesome. but you win some you loose some, this is my first build so im learning as i go.

Thanks again!
