I have a previous generation of an INSOMNIAC at my unmanned 280 unit property. It's not perfect but for the most part it works well. In addition to taking rentals, I get a lot of people who use it to make payments. I like that rather than calling me, they can use the machine to pay with cash. Also the... -
In projects that I have seen where a two story system is built in an open space, yes a sprinkler system is needed on both levels. This type of project requires more than your 15' of clearance, even with swing doors. A two story system with roll up doors on both floors requires 18' of clearance.

For five years I've had a local crew plow my property, and I also run a 24" two stage snowblower around the buildings after each snowfall to get that last foot of driveway clean. Once that snow is tossed into the middle it usually melts off with some sun exposure.

Not exactly a new hobby but I have started playing the piano more. I can't read music fast enough to sound good, but I can play popular stuff by ear halfway decent using a "fake book" which is basically just words and chords.
It's a great stress reliever, even if my family does...Leave a comment:
