Re: KiCad-Winbuilder V3.3

 

Thanks Miguel, it will be our first so we're very excited as well as
desperately trying to at least complete the bathroom as soon as
possible!

We are expecting at the beginning of May. Many congratulations to you
too, good luck with everything yourself!

Best Regards,

Brian.
