Woe is me. I must report a failure on my part. (after crowing about how I passed the written test with a great score, I figure I full disclosure on the practical test is appropriate). Late last week we went from Punta Cana over to the Intrant ...

I am sure you can find someone here to install the equipment. The trouble is they look at it like "plug and play" and they will not know what to do when problems arise. Our installer installed the system and ran like jack rabbits when post install ... Read More
