    A local (Dallas) company that makes those high end control systems for homes and businesses wants me to test some wireless gear for them. Their facilities are not RF clean and realistic enough so I may need a house to test gear in.

    I'd prefer a house that has at least 2 stories, 2500+ (larger the better) sq ft. There will be no modifications made to the home, although I will be stringing wires all over the place during the testing.

    I'm ok if the home is occupied but of course would be better if it were not. Right now I'm shooting for the week of March 22nd for testing. If you have a home available and are interested feel free to contact me via PM or reply to this thread. Thanks!

    Working during the day, or 24/7? I know of a house that fits your criteria but is occupied, however that shouldn't be a problem unless you need to work 24/7. House is 3300 Sqft, 2 story, in Grand Prairie.

    Not 24/7, probably 10-12 hour days max. Thanks for thinking of me! :)

    Can you come by my house and figure out why my re-flashed router won't work as a repeater? :)

    Let us know if you have time for lunch while you're here.

    Hmm....my house would give you fits. 2 story, including a 'basement' with concrete walls.....

    Garage is 1850 sq ft and the upstairs living area is 1950 sq ft.

    Rob - must be user error, wireless seems to work well for the rest of us. I know how you struggle with this internet thing. :)

    Gene, if you have some time for lunch/dinner/beer while you're here, send me a PM. I'd like to meet up with you. It's been a while since our Arkansas days...

    Ok, this project is a go. I'm still working on what week, but it is currently scheduled for the week of March 29th. I'd like to have access on Sunday (possibly) for setup. I'd be out on Friday. Hours would be 8:00 a.m. to 6 p.m.

    I'll have wires strung out all over the place so keep that in mind if the place is occupied with small children.

    Again, I need a home that is 2500+ sq ft, preferably multi-story. Larger the better. My budget is probably between $500 - $1000 for the week.

    Location is somewhat important for daily travel purposes.

    If you are still interested, please PM or email me the address and what you think a fair price would be. Some details about the house would be nice as well:

    - Construction material (brick, plaster, drywall etc)
    - Sq footage
    - Address
    - Occupied or not
    - Your desired rental rate


    Feel free to email me at gt@myfchatforumhandle dot com.

    Thanks!

    Sorry bud, scratch the PM I sent you, my folks' old Grand Prairie house (finally!) has contract on it and should close in a couple weeks. But it didn't sound like you were counting on that one.

    No problem man. I'm happy for them that they sold it!!


    Now... I NEED A HOUSE!!! I can pay up to $1000 for March 28th - April 2nd. Again, Please read the first post for background. Closer to Richardson is preferable. 3000+ sq ft, multi floor is desirable.

    Thanks!
