Great job! Did anyone else notice that it kind of had an IKEA look to it?

If you happen to nourish a dream deep inside of you - go for it! To live in a magnificent country which allows you to acquire the skills, the incomes and the support from your family and friends necessary for realizing a goal like this is something truly great. I have travelled the world, but never have I come across a country that rivals Sweden in terms of providing individual opportunities - although countries like Germany, USA and Norway etc come close.

Its his hobby, no doubt it did consume his life over the last 2 years, but so what. Some people are very good at fitting all sorts of things into their day, while others laze and drink and moan. This is a credit to him. If he had spent the 2 years building a hotrod car, you probably wouldn't have made your comment. He certainly seems to be outgoing here.

"Nu har jag provat det här rent praktiskt.. så då ska jag se om det är möjligt att göra en u-båt teoretiskt då" LOL :D
