Ok, Im calling it finnished for the purposes of photo's and moving forward. There are a few additional items to add but good pictures were necessary and needed to happen early afternoon before the sun prevented the best shots. Will take a new set next weekend at an earlier time to get better shots.

Here is a couple for now...
