saying something like:
You'll forgive, I am sure my tetchiness at tradesmen who take on a job that
they are unqualified to do and then come to a diy group to find out how to
do it.
Everybody's got to start somewhere with this kind of thing. You had to,
yourself.
Umm yes, but I'm not selling my services, to others. I'm a DIY loon having
fun at my own expense.

I hadn't even noticed your tetchiness to be honest and as a NACOSS Gold (now NSI) approved engineer in all aspects of CCTV, Access control and Intruder alarms for 16 years who are you to say I'm unqualified. Also this is the first job in said 16 years where I haven't had a 240vac supply and also a customer who only visits the site once every 2 months over winter hence the need to keep the battery in good nick. All other battery powered jobs have had some sort of charging system. I'm not selling my services it's an idea thought up by myself and my customer. Ultimately he will end up fitting it with his son. We were looking for feedback and ideas but I hadn't expected judgemental people like you on whats normally a friendly site. Remember it's DIY Banter.
