I have no doubt that when you get it done it will be spectacular! There's nothing wrong with starting over if you aren't happy with it. I can't wait to see it when you get it just right!!

 

Oh well..back to the drawing board Nick...but at least now you have a better picture of how you want everything to fit....i think the planning is just as exciting as the finished job can't wait

 

Ah well, we all make mistakes, I know I have! The important thing is to learn from them. I think that if you were unhappy with it, you've done the right thing. It would have been easy to just try to ignore it, but it would have ended up as a waste of space. You are now much better prepared to make something that you'll be proud of

Cheers...Freddy
