inOld timer told me to stop backrolling compound like wallpaper
Frank's been doing this since before I was born so I'd listen. It's like that thing where people overcomplicate simple stuff because they think more effort equals better results.

inWhy I still go with hardwired sensors over wireless for most houses
And the thing is, most people don't think about how wireless sensors can flake out after a year or two. The battery life claims are always way off from what you actually get in the real world. I've had too many callbacks on wireless systems where a sensor just stopped talking to the panel for no reason. Hardwired might be more work upfront but at least I'm not chasing phantom issues every few months. That Austin job you did sounds clean. A 3200 square foot ranch with hardwired contacts is going to be rock solid for decades. The homeowner made the right call skipping the battery problems.
