Default First clutch job

so my clutch was starting to slip a few weeks ago and i just babied it and it didnt get much worse got some money together and decided to replace it before it got me stranded

honda wanted like 780 bucks to do the job so I started doing some research posted some questions on here and such....
181 bucks for my new clutch and a case of beer to use my friends garage and i was off

5 hours of fairly straightforward work and I have a new clutch thats as smooth as silk

this was really the first mechanical thing i've done to my car, or any car ever and I was quite happy with how smooth it went.

now I'm not so worried about doing any work on my car and the engine swap i'll hopefully be lookin at in the spring seems much less intimidating

just wanted to send out a thanks to this forum and its users for all the help and info provided.
