I knw what you mean. I have a couple customers like that. Always remodeling
something, can't just let it be. The contractor gives me plenty of notice
though:  "Hey Jack, we've replaced three windows and need the alarm hooked
back up. Any time today would be great. Oh, by the way; last week the
plumber cut a wire by accident, looked like one of yours. He twisted it back
together though, so we could finish the drywall. Oh, and the keypads are
making this weird humming noise."
