Hey, now if you can include the yards tendancy to always round up in
their own favor, and add in undocumented "mill" charges and prices
that change from what you were quoted a week ago over the phone you
might get something that even comes close to what they actually end up
charging.

I've never found a single instance of the yard I use rounding in anyone's
favor but mine. Sorry your experience hasn't been the same.

Price changes over the course of a week? That's pretty standard, imo.

I thought it was a useful sheet.

My yard guys come very close. When I went last weekend a large piece

entering price data??
