Spent 45 minutes chasing a phantom signal in a McMansion attic

Got a call for a faulty motion sensor in this huge house in Scottsdale. The homeowner swore it was the unit, but after replacing it twice, I found a family of pack rats had chewed clean through the 22/4 wire run. Cost me half a day's pay and a new roll of cable. Anyone else had a critter cause a wild goose chase like that?

Half a day's pay seems rough, but was it really that big of a deal in the grand scheme?

Depends on how much you need that half day's pay, right?
