[Dancin103]

We are having a bit of trouble finding the guidelines and template for this years bill of materials. If someone could point us in the right direction that would be great. Thanks and happy building!

I have not seen the BOM template, yet. However, per <T09>, you are not required to turn in the BOM (only show), and are only recommended to use the template.

Does this mean we can go back to doing our BOM on a napkin at the last minute?

No, please don't

This coming from a guy who sits at the inspector's table and has to look at those BOMs.

I sure hope the standard BOM template makes a return.

Jared,
What do you think my answer to that might be, hmmm?

I will check into the link for the BOM but the template has not changed for many years. Be sure to account for everything and you may have a printed copy or a readable copy on a laptop for your inspector during inspection.

Joe and Jenny,

I'm not worried about being kept busy and out of trouble at a regional

I thought that FIRST mined those BOMs for statistics on what is used, which is why they collected them.

I'm also guessing that they mined a lot of viruses.

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Please be patient. The BOM will be available momentarily.

That is an interesting twist. Last year we had to provide it on a flash drive didn't we?

Yea, and thumb drive viruses spread like wildfire through events.

Ok, so is anyone else having problems acquiring the file? I download the .zip file, but there isn't any excel file to be found. If someone has been able to get a hold of it, could they please post below with it as an attachment?
Thanks,
