Collecting Information

Hi again,
You may think that I only do copy paste in this blog, but actually what I want to do is to collect all the best prectices / solutions and then to start the construction without any doubt.
Of course I will give my solutions and construction details in videos or as documents.
Keep following up !

I try to give all details of this project to share and to have other ideas from you.
