    Which I find funny, as I have never even learnt these terms in english. Also it seems you didn't read my post at all but just used it as an excuse to your (beforehand composed?) post to question the...

    Firstly, I want to apologize for not using "Z-approved" terminology. I'm not native in down-under, and I'm lazy enough to prefer using describing words to finding the correct words.

    JulianH,

    In 2012 Michigan we had a very precise (I'd say >97% of parts included) and truthful Cost Report.

    $26k. Where others were $15k. That was the biggest single mistake we've ever made as a...
