@aliquot I think the rub is in your definition of your “true” measurement. I’d bet if you go run it again you’d find a...
@just-a-surveyor I’m regrettably 4 weeks out right now because I had 3 topos that I priced at the “I don’t want it price” com...
I??m of the opinion that if you are more than about 3 weeks behind, you probably aren??t charging enough.
