I love that kind of a mess and you should too. Look on the bright side and that is the more of a mess the bigger the bill. Be glad it was a simple system like a Vista 15P. What if he would have installed a DSC 4020 and put all that crap on a single 2 wire AML loop.

Then you get the ones who say "How can it cost $3000 to fix it when it only cost $500 to put it in"

I avoid residential like the plague

I do too...forensic alarm techs...we did 4 hours and are only half done, have to wait till the painters are finished to fix the smokes, and rezone it.

Yeah, and that's in the $2M houses too... oh, the irony.

Brilliant, I love it :)

The same house where they spent $7,000 each for the 10 custom chairs in the home theater (picture the most comfortable and elaborate vehicle seat all the bells and whistles, make it a recliner and add an adjustable/hidden snack tray)
