As for the suggestion of getting a contractor to sign off on experience, no legitimate contractor is going to do that, and if they did, and got caught, you'd both be screwed. 

 And yes it all continues to make me very well aware that I won’t be doing any MTR anytime soon.So....as one of the people who responded to your original post, I legitimately don't know if my response was viewed as helpful, hurtful or horse...puckey?
