Question:

Fire Alarm Beeping? Even after Battery Replacement?

I have four fire alarms connected as a system to my security alarm, and the one in the hallway (which i assume is the main one) never stops chirping. It's driving me insane since the chirping is every 30 seconds. I've replaced the batteries and it didn't stop.I even had every single one replaced cause i thought perhaps one had malfunctioned and even though i replaced them with all new fire alarms IT STILL CHIRPS!! Perhaps i'll call the fire department to have them checked. Maybe there is one in the attic that i don't know about? Any help please?

I am the Transsexual. I live in the country between two very small towns. One of 700 people and the other of 2000. Pretty rural to say the least. I honestly do not think my neighbors care. I know some are aware and yes they have spread rumors. One called once to ask if the rumors are true. I asked if her husband had tried to commit suicide again lately and then explained to her that it was none of my business just as my medical issues are none of hers. I normally would not be that rude but I know her and I know she loves to spread rumors and gossip. For the most part I do not think people care one way or the other, I try to be a good neighbor. I respect there rights and expect the same. I feel bad if this is what you have had to go through with your neighbors and would certainly look into legal action if this is what is happening. Best of luck.
USA If you know what you are doing, go ahead. Make sure you are familiar with the local municipal building codes, especially smoke detectors and egress before you start. Rhoda was absolutely right in making sure you have a dry basement before finishing it. Ventilation, heating, cooling, insulation and possibly humidity control should be factored into your design. Do not block access to any valves, circuit breaker panels, or equipment of any kind. And DO design it before you start. You don't have to have architect's drawings, but it pays to do some sketches, and show where you are going to put walls, egress doors, ceilings, lights, heating and cooling units, etc Sketching these things out to make sure they all fit together saves many headaches and dollars down the road. A few things to remember: Romex (non metallic sheath) type wire cannot be installed on masonry walls. Cold water piping will sweat if not insulated. So can heating pipes on humid or cold mornings when the heat is not on. Do not block or reduce fresh air intakes or vents. Install a handrail at the stair. Make sure holes drilled for wiring are in the center of a stud, and at least 1-1/2 inches up from the bottom of a joist to the bottom of the hole, so screws will not hit the wires. Fiberglass insulation is not nearly as good a sound barrier as cement wallboard. Good luck!
trust me you shud try to do it on ur own finally rhoda gives a little bit of good advice
