Burglar Alarm
Next door has changed hands, and they've been having work done. Including
having an alarm fitted by a company who has their name on the bell box. And they've fitted that within easy reach of someone climbing up onto the ground floor window sill. Others in the street are fitted well out of reach without a ladder. Perhaps it doesn't matter? I'd love to see the internal wiring to it. It's well below ceiling height, and on a wall which is plaster on brick. Cowboys? -- *Someday, we'll look back on this, laugh nervously and change the subject Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

House next door to one I rent out in town has just had an alarm fitted, bell box is also mounted just above first floor windows. I asked why, apparently fitter was only insured to work at X (cant remember exact) height, if they wanted it fitted higher it would involve scaffolding at their expense. Although the chap did drop the cable down the cavity and do a neat job. Health and Safety, part P, were is this country heading ? -- Mark§ This is an automatic signature of unknown origin |
