It doesn't need to be. I can get it to you before then if you want ...we both have been kinda relaxed on the schedule for this so far, but if you want to me to push it up in the schedule I can try to do that.  Quality will not suffer, so don't worry about that: I don't go half-assed for anything I push out. ;)

Bit of an update in order...so posted my last post on January 27, 2014 a few above...then the next day I broke my ankle...fractured my fibula, tore 2 ligaments and severed my Achilles tendon all on a lunch walk...my gut told me to not walk on the boardwalk nature trail...a 30 minute walk i usually do at lunch on a nice day...this day i decided to do it on a wet day. Despite reading an account of a woman who had hurt her knee walking there I went ahead and did it anyways :(

About half way through and not heeding my gut instinct to turn back...i slipped...left foot lost footing...and right foot got stuck in metal anti slip grating...i fell...the right foot didnt move and SNAP..within a split second I knew I had broken my ankle badly.  I Macgyver'd a few branches to make a makeshift pair of crutches and hobbled off the trail...long story short took 45 mins to get to an ambulance. I waited 5 hours at the nearest hospital for xrays...then another 4 for the results...all without so much as a Tylenol 3.  The doctor there put me in a boot and sent me home with tylenol 3 which did nothing for the pain...i was in a lot of pain. Wife took me to another hospital as she was concerned. The doctor there after only a 2 hour wait told me that a) I shouldn't have had a boot fitted and b) the boot was incorrect size and type and was pulling on my break.

Then 9 weeks of waiting for fracture to heal...now bone is mended but I still have massive swelling after just a few steps...use a crutch and cane and can finally drive again. Thankfully work had been accommodating and let me work from home through the worst of it and my awesome wife drove me to work the days I did go in.

I have about another 2 to 3 months for soft tissue damage to heal as its a long and tedious healing process :(

Long story short...as SOON as my foot permits im back to build...CANT WAIT.  Going to document full build via video and my youtube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe-LT9hCzsV4aqej1P-pEKw

So with that said...just an explanation for my disappearance again! Cheers guys cant wait to get back to building my vertical cabinet.

Man that sounds just nasty.  I can't even imagine...   Glad to have you back again.  Get better.

For some reason I was thinking you had another WG D9400 monitor you were holding back for your next project?
