Thanks Graham. One problem with buying your own equipment is finding a
dealer willing to accept responsibility for any mishaps. Cutting
corners is fine but allowing a dealer to make a fair and reasonable
profit, while assuring yourself of limited to no headaches is a better
choice IMHO.

BTW, I could have used you a few weeks ago with a fire system in
Humble. The lady might still be in the market. We provided her with 3
area companies so far. If she's still in the market, and if you are
still doing your own thing let me know.
