a penny saved is a...

The first part of this ”little” endeavour has begun. My plans have arrived from the printers. Yippy!! Not until now did I realise the scale of it all, wow. When starting out on this project I thought I would cut corners on cost when possible but not on quality so I found a great way to get the plans printed inexpensively. I just went to the local printing shop an asked how do they calibrate there machines. They said they do test runs when they change the paper rolls so I asked when the next test run was. It just so happened that they were planning one later that week. So I asked if I could get a reduced rate if they tested the machine using my plans. They said sure and the plans arrive today. The price for it all was….. yepp free!! They charged me nothing because I didn’t need a colour print out and they were going to do the test run anyway. In all it's about 15 sheets of plans and cutouts. Not that I’m cheap but a penny saved is still a …. ;-)
