Just wanted to say hello from south central Wisconsin. My 10yr old Daughter and I started this addiction last winter and are getting ready for more builds when the snow flies. We have learned alot from this site and its members and look forward to making new friends

Hi Troy and Aliyah,
Good to see a new builder and terrific to see a 10 year old girl that wants to get involved. The forum is very good and most questions get good quick answer. Good luck with your builds and welcome aboard. I hope your daughter stays involved as some young builders are needed. Once she learns she won't forget and she knows where see can catch up.

Hello and WELCOME aboard Troy & Daughter.

The search feature is very useful just rember to change the date to ALL Dates(Tom is there a way you can get it to start at all dates?).

A lot of info in the Library and the Photo section, but for the Photo Section you need to register separetly from the regular forum.

If you see a term you do not understand the Glossary will help.

Bob,

New Bern, NC.
