I just set off the smoke alarm in our house! Holy Moly that's loud! And very difficult to work out how to turn off! Its one of the hard wired ones and we have 9' ceilings!
I think I need a little lie down now

And, why do these things only ever happen when I'm here by myself? Hhmmmmm?
Try one of these - leaf blower.
Even makes the dog look happy.

If it's stopped you can close everything now.
Too cold for open doors

I hate leaf blowers. I'm fairly certain I live in the town with the highest number of them per head of population of anywhere in the world.
And they all like to use them at 8am on Sundays ggggrrrrrrrrrrr

I used to have a smoke detector mounted on the ceiling of the alcove outside the laundry, but every time I used the clothes dryer...
Something Had to give.

it's like the Dance of the Matador here, with much leaping about and flapping of the teatowel.
Scares the bejeebus outta the cat and sets the dog off howling.

what type of smoke alarm do you have?
on โ08-11-2015 12:00 PM
A very loud one!
I don't know except that it is hard wired and used to be connected to the back to base security system that we have never used. It was here when we bought the house.

photoelectric ones are the best.
your toast shouldn't set it off.

They usually have a back-up battery system in case of power outage too.
Never checked the battery?
