I'm new on here so I don't know if there is a message or chat system but if so, feel free to send me a message if there is anything you feel uncertain about after doing some research and I'll be more than happy to help you if I can. I'm far from an expert but I have a little experience behind me. If I don't know, I'm sure we can figure it out together
