    Thanks for the survey results. I tried doing a survey like that a long time ago and couldn’t find any interest.

    This is a quarterly survey that our local S.W. Idaho chapter of NARPM compiles for single family units. The results have varied tremendously over the last two years and may be a continued resourse for this forum. Anyone interested in past or future results may contact me at any time.
