Yes, it will be single-sided. Time will be in unit minutes and tens, up to 
99 minutes. I need 11 minutes.

I haven't decided on the relay, but I'll accomodate a DPDT one.

I've assembled most of the display PCB for the PICkit 2, but I've used a 
couple of transistors which I didn't have in stock and which have unusual 
pinouts, I should have them tomorrow. I can then get on with the software.
