Thank you for your suggestions, I like what you are doing with the dual income.  

We had to pull a permit to change the lighting in our office from recessed lighting to track lighting and also to change an outlet to a different voltage.  

You may want to look at dual purpose as well.

@Joe Cummings  - it is conceivable that since the two breakers were not tied together, that one could trip independent of the other and thus leave the system being powered at too low of a voltage.

If it's a dual electric element tank, check to make sure the lower element is actually switched on.

Eric, sorry I don't have any stories of getting ripped off as a lender.....none....notta, not that some didn't try.Any time someone came in (mostly commercial deals) as if they had just found the best thing since sliced bread and were overly ecited, I get leary quickly, over-selling a deal is just a tip off that I'm not getting the true picture.The concept of dual control of adminstrative functions is a good way to limit issues.

The good thing is you don't have too much competition because most don't want to do it, most of those who do suck, and with the dual income society of today a large amount of people are not home.Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and the mythical single 9-5 income family existed I loved door knocking.

I already have a hard time with dual agency and think it should be illegal.

I have dual trustees- her and a trusted bil, but he is getting old.
