| Many years ago we were installing a Napco Magnum 800 in a house in
| CT.  The lady of the house asked if I could have my men wear white
| cotton gloves and remove their shoes while working in the house.  I
| explained that gloves would be a hazard when operating drills.  We
| also would not go shoeless because of the danger.
|
| She accepted that but was generally a pain at every step.  Several
| times while we were drilling door switches and such she actually
| tried to vacuum around us.  It was obvious the lady was a bit of a
| nut.
|
| On the last day I went out to my truck and brought in a huge "Hole
| Hog" drill with a huge bit in the chuck which we used when installing
| a certain type of recessed transmitter.  I didn't need the tool; just
| carried it in past the lady for fun.  It worked.  Right away she
| asked, "What is that huge thing for?"
|
| I said it was needed to drill the mounting holes for the control
| panel.
|
| "How big is the control panel?"
|
| "Not too big.  It's a red cabinet, 2' wide by 3 high and it weighs
| about 85 pounds."
|
| "Where does it go?"
|
| "I found only one ideal location -- on the wall above the couch in
| the living room."
|
| She stared at that drill for a moment and then said, "Stop.  I want
| to ask my husband about this."
|
| He knew what a PITA she was and when he saw the smile on my face he
| caught on right away.  He told her that we were the experts and if
| that's where it has to go, well that's it.  :^)
