I am going to order...

    Mistakes you have made?

    The worst was probably not paying enough attention to detail. You MUST pay attention to detail. I could go on and on with this. Best thing was I met a seasoned couple that really accelerated our time table for success. Again I thank you D and K. (you know who you are). I would post there...

    Something is wrong here!

    The thread is not a second thread about fuel surcharge or who gets 100%. This thread is simply to point out precisely what dieseldiva was saying.
