when I was doing installs, I was working long hours, and went through more batteries than fuel on some weeks.BUT even my jobs done in the dark were beyond specs. I showed up to this one house on 6:30 on a saturday night, and this lady wanted 7 outlets including the modem!!! it was in a 60+ year old neighborhood, and the house had never had cable!!! the drop was shot through oak trees from the mainline to within 3 feet of the house, all trees!!!!!!!!! I called and asked for some support, and one guy said he was on his way, and turned off his radio and went home. the only guy who showed up was there till 11pm and I was there till 2 am. I spent 3 hours under the house crawling around old wiring, and the old furnace parts(Thanks AC guy!).
