Re: home security alarm system repair

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ranger American installs the keypads at switch height...really dumb when you
install an LCD keypad...client has to get down on their knees to read the
display. So it aint just the electricians..but yah..electricians should
stick to pulling romex and leave the skinny wires to us:-)

I'm gonna have to start carrying my camera to job sites again...we should
start a museum of alarm installation oddities.

Like installing the panel in the back of a tiny hall closet, 7 feet high
with the damn shelf hitting you in the face...idiots. Turns a half hour
panel trim into 2 hours of backbreaking cursing.

| Yeah, I love it when the keypads are prewired to boxes set at light
