   All of this info can be stored in memory and used later when you're   
   remodeling or building a new place. You might even be able to do some   
   changes in the future, when you have the time.

   I was lucky and we had sunshine everyday of my refresher course back in   
   06. In California I was grandfathered from my experience in riding in
