Sorry about the damaged order. At least they are being really nice about it though and taking care of it right away. I wouldn't get discouraged, we have all run into road bumps in this hobby, and more are on the way I am sure, but keep positive and push through it all and you will do just fine
Had my fair share of stuff gone wrong when I first started, but the beauty of it all is you learn from the mistakes.
For sure post some pics when it's all set up.
