Afternoon

I’ve got a great project coming in today- what’s the general consensus on project threads to document it?

I don’t mind doing them as they help document all the works done, but do the dwellers of the forum care/enjoy them?

Thoughts?

Stuart

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Yes do it!

I like you keep a thread going to document work done (especially useful come sale time) and also document all the products/approaches I use in case anyone wanted to see how they work.
