I had one in the house before. It did go off a few weeks ago, but I changed the batteries and it stopped. Now I wonder if it wasn't the batteries. Anyway, I have them on every floor now. >I'm sorry to hear about the home repairs :-/ > >We have to take a look at the faucets that feed our washer today. One of >them appears to be leaking and I see spots on the kitchen ceiling. I may have more bad news. Water in my attic has caused spots on the 2nd floor ceiling. I spoke to the insurance folk about that, under the assumption that they tell me to go get a can of paint and a brush. They recommended ripping out the ceiling, and replacing insulation, etc.. as needed. The fear is that mold is now growing in the space between the attic floor and 2nd floor ceiling. I'm working on one problem at a time and figured it would not be worth fixing the ceiling w/o first fixing the leak. Based on my experience thus far, Insurance estimates rarely come close to covering the job. I put in a claim for some repairs to the downstairs bathroom floor because the wood was rotting because of a leaky toilet. Insurance said it would take ~$700. The lowest estimate I received was $1200 (although most were >$3,000). The low-end contractor got the job. Although he said it would only take 2 days he has been working on it for over a month (and has already been back 5 times). I think some day I'll look back and be thankful I've had these experiences. -- Jeffry Houser, Web Developer, Writer, Songwriter, Recording Engineer AIM: Reboog711 | Phone: 1-203-379-0773 -- My Books: <http://www.instantcoldfusion.com> My Recording Studio: <http://www.fcfstudios.com> My Energetic Acoustic Rock Band: <http://www.farcryfly.com> -- When did Reality Become TV ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Stay Ahead of Hackers - Download ZoneAlarm Pro http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=65 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:142690 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
