Hi David,
We'd love to help, although I won't be able to personally visit your system to consult. ;) Hope we haven't scared you off--folks can get a little silly and carried away, but we really do like newbies.

Hi All
David and Barbara a lovely couple from Rushworth, Country Victoria came for a visit today and asked me to upload some photos of their system.
As you can see from the photos David has made good use of foam boxes and local materials
