Don't use DHCP in this kind of situation.. you will constantly be dealing with people installing cheap home devices that have their own DHCP servers in them.. Give people IP allocations, let them either use that allocation or run their own DHCP server locally.. block DHCP from going over the network..

Couldn't agree more. also: don't be afraid to leave your ladder in the backyard of your latest installation if you think you might be coming back real soon. it will save you the trouble of lugging it over there again later.
