sort of lost count with hours but more than 300 lot of work

I often do things like that facilitate repair or adjustment due to seasonal movement, Good Job.

Wow 300 hours that is some work!
Lets see 300 x $70 per hour plus materials and any little bits you might need to buy comes to something like $22,000 . Now that will make it hard to compete with a $400 imported chinese version in the marketplace.
