of course "yeah right" it was highway robbery. the house is a
semi-custom home built in a builder based community. you don't own the
home until completion to builder can decide what if any option choices
you have. while my wife and i spent huge sums on options, one option i
wasn't going to take was wiring the doors (4) and 1 motion and 1 panel
(all from a no-name company with old technology) for $2000. so
therefore my ONLY real option was to wait until closing and THEN
install an alarm, exactly what I am doing. I had the first salesman in
my house about the alarm 3 days after the closing. my decision took 2
weeks total and the install is going to happen in less than 3 weeks for
a total of 5 weeks after the close.
