"Yes" vote from me. I didn't go quite that far last year, but I did a major restoration to my V2-22 and got it all done in a month and a half---and that was around working a full time job. Like someone said earlier, you just have to stay motivated. Good luck, and keep the pictures coming!

I never found a brand of sausage that didn't irritate my throat, so I went back to smoking cigars.
