Question:

Where do I put smoke alarms and Carbon dioxide detector in new house?

The house we bought had no smoke alarms. The directions are kind of vague. It's a typical 2 story. The front bottom is livingroom, door with hallway and then stairs, back of house familyroom behind garage, kitchen, and then dining room. Up the stairs it's front 2 bedrooms, and back straight from stairs is bathroom, bathroom and master bed room. Upstairs hall is about 20 ft. We also have a basement . Should I ask a fireman to come out and tell me where to put them? I have 4 and 1 CM detector.

Answer:

I can relatethis scared me and my family big time!! This happened to me a couple of times last summer when I had construction going on at my house. Sometimes dust particles will cross over a beam in the smoke detector which makes it go offIn this case, all of them went off like what is happening to you. If you clean the detectors with a vaccum, that should do the trick. Also, I was told to cover the detectors with plastic during construction. Just make sure you uncover your detectors at the end of the day. Hope this helps you. If it doesn't, maybe you need to buy new detectors.
Timberline Lodge: US26. You'll need chains or studded tires. It will be at least an hour from I-5. Columbia River: I-84. Crater Lake: Highway 97. You can't get to it by car this time of year. Columbia Gorge - I-84 and the scenic highway. Both are dangerous this time of year. Mt Saint Helens - Washington. I don't think you can drive to it this time of year.
I think women run for cover. Golf courses, fishing in boats, More men may be out doing these activities. Or Thor and Zeus, are jealous of you men and try to do away with you. More ladies for them. Or maybe your chemistry draws the nitrogen to you. Just guessing.
wait until spring/summer!!! all those places you listed are much more fun to see/explore when it's not covered in snow. the columbia gorge/pike place/lake chelan/snoqualmie falls are not very fun in the winter. the passes this time of year can get snow flurries of up to 2 feet very quickly.
You can run into black ice at any of these places this time of year.I would suggest you put on snow tires studs all four tires,then drive carefully,studded tires don't mean you can't slip,but they do help a lot.Most all the places you mention are beautiful,but most will have snow this time of year.Some of these locals will not be accessible without some traction devises on your vehicle or in your trunk,like chains.Studs will usually get you in.Enjoy your trip to the Pacific North West and drive carefully.
