My leukemia's back.

Right! So why hardwire them at all? They work on batteries if there is no power so what do you gain by hardwiring them?

I think it’s just another layer of protection.

Hardwiring them is overall more efficient if it's not an electrical fire.

But why? The lithium battery 10 year models last 10 years. No wiring required, big $$ savings. The ones I took out are using some amount of electricity 24x7, also have to be replaced in 10 years and you throw 4 AA batteries in the trash every year. Both cost $45. I don't see how that is efficient.

Correct!

Bruce, you are simply too logical. Don't you get a warm fuzzy feeling in your heart, just knowing that some beaurocrat is sitting at a 100K desk, and using a 6K toilet seat while looking after your best interests by making sure your fire alarm system costs 50 x more than it should? Do you have pointy ears?

Honeys....I'm hooome!!

Fires scare the peewadding out of me! On November 16th, 2002, my brother Ron lost his only son to a house fire. Coty was only 8 years old, severely autistic, and his mom was injured trying to get to him to get him out. Ron was on his way home from work and saw the flames from the highway. It was a sick time for all of us! I can't believe someone would pilot a plane into his own family's home.

Got a ton of photos and still have to choose which ones to share. Don't want you to accidentally get the one of me in the bikini dancing on the banquet table with balloons.

why not Blooie. I bet the men on here would bid high to see 'that" photo.

 

[bruceha2000]

She's waiting for the bidding to start!

Good morning Team Rachel.

Welcome home Blooie. Dancing on tables in your bikini? That's one way to finance a shopping spree.
