Well, actually, without wanting to blow my own trumpet, I just wanted to let you guys know that I am now officially a Westlawn graduate.:D :D :D :D
Yep, 5 years, 11 months and 18 days is all it took for me to whip thru the course! Built two houses, two kids and a bunch of other stuff along the way.

What I really want to say though, is a VERY BIG thanks to all of you guys. I could have got here without you, but you sure as hell made it a whole lot easier.:p

So, there you have it. I now consider myself qualified to learn....;)

You got through school in half the time I did.

2 years = AS (Associates)

9 years = BS (should of took 4 years, but worked full time)

2 years = MS (Masters)

Total = 13 years

I paid for it all myself with a little help from the government at times.

It's all smooth sailing now.................NOT. Hang in there and congrats.

Of my 1876 posts, 1800 of them were asking you guys for help!;)
I really mean it when I say I wanted to thank everyone. This is an extraordinarily valuable resource - onya Jeff!

Gary - nope....seems like a lifetime ago to me!

Mike - Gotta figure out how to pay for that dream now...

Thanks again everyone - I honestly didn't put this here to get a pat on the back from you all (nice though it is;) ) - just to let you know that all your efforts weren't (entirely) in vain....

Since you are the "catalyst" for option 1 , are we going to see this thread energised?

Not sure I'd consider myself the catalyst, but I'd dearly like to see O-1 come to some sort of conclusion. So, short answer is yes. Soon as I get a few other things tidied up, I hope to rev up some enthusiasm and get it going again.....

Congratulations Will, well done!!!

Hard to believe it’s been 5 years but I guess it has. Having completed the Westlawn course you join a fairy select group, many start but few finish. The best of luck with the next step.....looks like a move to Dubai is in order!
