We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the

You'll forgive, I am sure my tetchiness at tradesmen who take on a job

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.

How many offline power systems have you installed?

Your post indicates this is the first, hence you are unqualified in this
respect.

**** me are you going to join Drivel in the stupid bin?
