</div>Congrats! You are no longer a hobbiest or amateur.<br>
<br>
Just in case they don't require it already:<br>
Once upon a time when I did this kind of work for a "jobber",<br>
I found that taking pictures of installs, customers locations,<br>
broken equipment, etc.. absolutely invaluable. If you have a<br>
phone (camera phone is fine..) take pics and save them.<br>
It helps when they say: The frammel rod is bent and you did not check<br>
that.. and you can show them the pic of the unit with a perfect frammel<br>
rod and the money acceptor intact when you installed it.<br>
<br>
*frammel rod is a fictitious part.<br>

I will add to that: email the photo to your gmail (or other third party) email account.
