Congrats guys! It is so exciting isn't it, it is also extremely disappointing and frustrating when you see no action at your site.
Our site cut continues tomorrow (hopefully) and the slab shortly thereafter.
We will be keeping an eye on your blog...take care and wishes for quick n quality progress!
