Baby’s First Crust

Some of you will have noticed that I had recently deactivated my entire catalogue. I won’t specify why, but I left and thought that I would go and preside full time at another site. However, after doing so it just didn’t feel right over on that site and I began to miss it here. My wife also told me she thought I was dumb for switching in the first place, which she’s probably right. So I’ve returned, and I bring with me a genre that I notice a couple other people have posted puzzles of here. This is a chaos construction puzzle type called crust which is very popular on that other site. I hope you enjoy my rendition.

Rules:

Place the digits 1-9 so that each digit appears exactly once in every row and column. There are nine orthogonally connected regions that must be located by the solver. Each region also contains the digits 1-9 once each with no repeats.

Crust: Clues outside the grid give the sum of the digits up until the first region border on that side of the row or column. One region border has already been given, although it is not necessarily the first from any direction.
