Re: Your Favorite Install Tool?

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Talking about keypad height...I did a takeover last week where the LCD
keypads were at switch height (no not a ADA house either)...totally stupid.
I had to program the system on my knees so I could read the screen...and of
course the homeowner didnt want me to move them up to user height - which I
offered to do for no charge. I dunno how they'll ever use the system.
