You're right, Scotty. I didn't look at it that way. When I buy plans and there's a mistake, it's my fault, but I took on that risk by purchasing the plans. When Will bought the kit, he paid for someone else to take the responsibility of cutting them precisely.

Shipping out mismatched panels: Shame on CLC Gluing them together crooked: shame on the builder (the part of the mistake quotient that we, as fellow builders really feel committed to helping him fix!)

I've been told by others that CLC is very helpful in sending out replacement parts. Give 'em a call, Will.
