I am new at this, and I am sure others better qualified will chime in, but I think you nailed it on the head. A bit stiff near the handle. I think you have the right attitude, enjoy what you have done and start thinking on what you are going to do next!

Don't hesitate to post photos as you go, as I know a lot of us benefit from the feedback, and it makes you go s l o w e r which is probably a good thing. I am sure it is for me anyway!
