OK, I am in disagreement with a friend and would like your feedback.

At 3:00 this morning, a battery was dying in my smoke alarm and started
chirping. It makes my little dog shake like crazy. So, I had to go to
the garage, get the tall ladder, and remove the battery.

My friend said to just flip the switch at the fuse box and that will
take care of the chirping noise until I get up to put in a new battery.

If the battery is there to backup the smoke alarm during a power outage,
why would shutting off the switch in the fuse box keep the battery from
chirping?

Thanks.


Good to hear from you again, how is all your remodeling coming?

Hey, hi. My remodeling has all gone as planned, and I am super pleased
with it.

I have one inside project left, and I really need to do my homework on
that. I have Silestone quartz countertops, and I want to change my
kitchen cabinets from bleached oak to a cinnamon oak. Therefore, the
only thing I can do due to the type of counter top I have is to get
them refaced. I know three families, in towns far away from me,
who had this done and they are beautiful.

I live in a small area, so I need to find a quality business who can do
this for me.

I hope all is well in your little corner of the world.

And, thanks for asking.
