I have only ever seen it correctly used once and that one would have no bearing on material take-offs. During the in-house training we do for new-hires, it falls into the category of "Last Resorts". OK, now my stomach hurts just thinking about it....ack, I think I just threw up a little in my mouth......d@m* paint buck...aaaaaaaaack!
