While we're "on the subject", what do you guys bill as a minimum for an
inspection like this?  On a three story walk-up with six bells, six
pulls and one (or two) heat detectors - say 20 devices total - with all
the required paperwork completed (for the applicable jurisdiction) we're
at around the $200.00 mark.
