Sorry I missed you today. I checked the basement when I got home. I understand Ralph's notes and I'll clean up the circuit labeling. FYI - the flicker problem was noticeably absent this evening. I didn't get a single "there it goes again" from Julia all evening. As far as I'm concerned, the project is a success. Ralph - thanks for the dedicated circuit for the "Grid is Down" indicator. I explained it to my brother, and he had the reaction I suspect most will have - "what? you need a light to come on to tell you when the power is off?", and he thought I was nuts. I appreciate your willingness to humor me. I enjoyed the project - I really learned quite a bit. Thanks to you both, and extend my thanks to Tim. I can't say enough about the Halco team. Finally - Melissa - if you do commercial work in Buffalo, let me know. My brother owns a number of self storage facilities, and two indoor tennis centers in Buffalo, and is interested in learning about Solar options for his vast roof space. If that's in your market, I'll put you in touch.

I just want you to know how thankful I am for all the work that has been done to my trailer. Every person from there from start to finish was professional, friendly and as a woman who lives alone it meant alot to me that no one who came here made me uncomftorable or was innapropriate in any way. Again, thank you all so much for everything you've done to my home. I just felt it was important for you to know how pleased I am and will recommend you to anyone. Have a great day.

Dear all Halco family: Greg, Theresa, Jamie, Brittany, Seth, Rodney, Dave, Jim & partner that put my furnace in. Thank you all for all your caring and help and professionalism. I love the furnace and thermostat. I could not have stayed in my home if it wasn't for all of you. Please thank too the men that worked so hard insulating, this will help so much too. I hope I haven't forgotten anyone. It is honestly a dream come true. I am truly blessed over this. Please thank NYS Gas and Electric and the state program, Empower! God Bless all of you always.
