What's up?
Is everybody as busy as I am?
Can't seem to catch up.
I'm scheduled out about 3 to 4 weeks now and no sign of letting up.
All kinds of things.
Right now I'm working on a system that was originally installed in the 90's . I don't understand how this alarm company was thinking. They've got 10 moti on detectors, only two out of seven doors with contacts on them. Only one c asement window in each room with an alarm screen. One keypad situated betwe en the two entry doors with a Fifty second delay. Pull traps across the bas ement windows. And one zone on the keypad zone list labeled as fire but the re are no smoke detectors.
They want to keep the motion detectors only because the end user is used to them causing (in my opinion) the customer to never arms the system when th ey are home (against my advice) I've disconnected the alarm screens and re placed them with wireless glass break detectors. Put wireless xmters on the remaining doors. added six wireless smoke detectors. (It's really a rambli ng laid out house) Finding the transformer took at least a half hour. it wa s buried above the drop ceiling in a closet in the basement.
Problem is, The lady is a practicing psychologist, and I can only get in th e house when she doesn't have patients. This is my second week on the job. Can't leave any gear on the job. Each time I return I have to set up all ov er again. It takes me about an hour to switch gears from the job I was at t he day before to get my head back into where I left off.
Other than that, I'm changing out 3G radios. People moving from one house t o another. New people moving in. The real estate business is just going wil d in this area. Houses are selling in just a few days after being put on th e market. Cuomo and De Blasio have screwed up New York City and anyone who can afford it is moving out.
And with the defunding of police, every one wants a firearm and an alarm sy stem.
