Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

The detail WBS you posted here has frighten and confused the PPers from reading the thread. Simplfy the thread and go direct to the discussion point. While the PPers discussing this thread you can develop the details to improvise it.
