Stormy,

All done except the water softener, it's under the house.
I find that alkaline batteries last about 3 yrs in the house smoke
alarm, and that they give plenty of warning when it's replacement time.
Thermostat batteries last years too. Never understood why you should
replace them every year. Suspect that this is nonsense.

Ah, thermstat. Not got that one yet. It may be that I'm
using out of date batteries, or it may be the clocks. But
I get less than a year from the cells I use. Most likely
out of date batteries. I replace the ones in my clocks
and at church, each year twice at time change.

I do try to get the smoke detector every clock change, figure
what's a dollar battery versus my life lost in fire.
