Vent: a basement install at the old Masonic Lodge on Elm nearly cost me my Saturday

I showed up at 8am and the place had zero cell signal, which I should have checked beforehand. The control panel kept cycling because of an old 2-wire loop that was all corroded, took me 45 minutes just to find the break. Then the siren mount I brought didn't fit the weird masonry walls (drilled 3 anchors that all crumbled). Has anyone else run into a site built before the 80s that just fights you on every single screw?

I used to hate old sites, that one changed my mind completely.

Hard disagree, those old sites had way more charm.

A Saturday you'll never get back.
