Price list needed

[Bob Elliott]

Since I am doing a presentation with last minute notice, I would like to have a price list for various systems and componants that I can give as a handout.
I have seen these lists and could have sworn I saved one.
Something with prices on things like roofs and furnaces,that sort of thing.
Any link help would be appreciated.
Presentation is saturday morning.
Thanks

Great info.
I found a PDF with life expectencies I had saved from NAHB and HUD but could not locate the price estimates.
This is a good way to remind them of the need to save for repair.
Thanks David ,it is a good minature for printing.
