    I'll edit this original post as a journal of sorts and only post once more when the whole transaction is complete.
    I'm aiming to format it in a way that is mostly factual and objective, with a small snippet at the front of my personal take on the whole experience.
    Possibly overly-detailed, but I've gotta to something to fill the time before the computer arrives!

    TBA
