I ran my ATV (Motorcycle) in the garage with the doors closed for about 5 minutes or less, and 3 hours later the smoke alarms started going off. My smoke alarms also go off if there's carbon monoxide. Could this be caused by the atv even though it was 3 hours later? I'm trying to find the source and I'm not having much luck. I opened the windows and since then, it hasn't gone off. I don't want to contact the fire department being that it's 3AM on Christmas day I plugged in a carbon monoxide detector into the wall, and shortly after about 15 seconds, it started going off as well .So it wasn't a false reading.
Not necessarily, unless there is damage to the drywall behind them. Wood will dry much more quickly and thoroughly than drywall, and will not lead to mold problems like drywall can. Is the base painted or stained? If painted, did you prime the backside as well? If so, you have almost nothing to worry about. Hope this helps.
the best tip for keeping a phone secure in your pocket is to stick all of your stuff in one pocket so that it is tight and stays in, another way is to sew shut the pocket but leave just enough room for the phone so that the phone can only get pulled out and the odds of it falling out go down. another way is to take a backpack or bag to hold all your stuff and leave it at the station of the coaster, most stations have holders or shelf's for peoples gear, and if none of those work for you then simply ask a friend to hold it for you or ask a friend if you can borrow their phone while you leave yours at home.
Well that really depends on what type of baseboards they are. All the sheetrock is probably still wet. I would suggest pulling off the baseboards and cutting a few inches of the sheetrock out (just enough so that when you put baseboard back on it will cover the missing rock) and putting some fans on the studs behind. If you don't get this dry you will have mold. Mold doesn't hurt everyone, but it will keep growing back there behind that wall and will cause major problems down the road. The best thing you could do would be to call a disaster restoration company in your area. If your not wanting to involve your insurance company then they could get really expensive. You could at least have them just check it out for you. Explain your situation to them and they may be kind enough to check everything out with their moisture meters and let you know what to do above what you have already done. Good luck!
