The $2000.00 smoke detector still happens when the FD walks through and starts asking for this, that and the other.

A local amendment required 'double' action pull stations, on a walk through the FD said the ones we had where 'dual' action??????

Anyway with the certificate of occupancy needed the only choice was to change them all out, luckily this building only had 20 or 30 pull stations.

We had approved submittals we did not end up eating the cost, I do not know who did.

On a side note this FD also had requested me to solder the end of line resistors for the radio master box onto the field wiring.

"Those fall off and cause troubles, solder them in place"
