| | No wires labeled and the existing panel is dead and there is no zone | info anywhere. (2 months ago - new home owner, 15 zones, aside from | fire all run on identical 4 conductor. Toner got quite a work out as | did I, running up and down stairs all day.) | | Then there was the home owner who trimmed back our prewire bundle to | help the painter get it out of the way. Sure, he left enough wire.... | AND he even saved the part he cut off so we would have the labeled ends... |
