After I went to bed last night, I awoke to a beeping sound a little after 4 am. I listened, and nothing, so I rolled over, and went back to sleep. About 10 minutes later, there was another beep. It took me awhile to track it down, but the noise was coming from one of the smoke alarms. It needed a new battery. I have very tall ceilings, and the smoke alarms are way on up there. I debated whether I could sleep through the beeps until I woke up today. Nope, not happening. I had to go to the garage, and drag in a ladder to get the stupid thing off the wall. I had nothing better to do at that time of morning, right?

Yep.. scraped up my leg pretty badly because of that one year..... who thinks clearly at 2am???? I sure don't.

Blasted detector started beeping in the middle of the night, and yes, high ceiling... had to go outside for the tall ladder, take it up the deck stairs, through my bedroom and into the hall.. then saw that a brace on the ladder was busted.....no way was I traipsing outside half dressed and barefoot for a second time at 2 am... so yep... just as I got the battery swapped out, down I came with the ladder...

SUPPOSED to change them then....
We change them when they chirp lol. Have several.
They actually outlawed them here. So we bought some extras while still on the shelves. The 'government' says were too stupid to change batteries so for public safety not for sale in NY anymore. Only the ten yr ones that are expensive in comparison and you can't change the batteries. About a decade ago they tried to do the same thing with bug bombs, said people are too stupid to use them, there is a chance we won't be smart enough to leave our house when setting them off...:th

Sigh. This is sad. But the government is probably right!

In my long tenure as a court psychologist, I’ve seen so much stupid that nothing surprises me much. Like the bug bomb. I can totally picture that. :tongue
