That's what I heard from all the service guys I've seen when I was working in a clients' houses and playing "Please let service guy in while you're here."
5-7 years is the new 10-15. Just like a women's size 8 dress is now a 4---same with her shoes size. Soon, a two-by-four will be, nominally, of course, 1 x 3."
