It sat at my Dad's house in the Atlantic salt air. The bore shows a little rust. The barrel shows surface rust. I have used a solvent/lubricant to clean my gun. The breach seems to close very tightly. The trigger and pin are tight and in safe working order. The barrel is 18 1/4 and was this way when I got it in 1973.
Try moving the smoke detector a little farther away from the bathroom door.
in theory yes great idea, in practice there just is not enough blood for the brain to understand the sound advice of the old adage. lol
Focus on the task at hand and limit distractions. What Kay said about safety glasses when working with miserable metal dotted fabrics, I almost lost an eye when a needle broke on one of those (expletives) and flew up in my face. Use the correct tools for the job, especially the correct needle size. Don't sew heavy fabrics with a needle made for silks, and vice versa. Keep fingers away from the needle while sewing. Remove pins before they go under the needle. NEVER sew when tired, sick or drunk. Don't use a trolley needle that's attached to a thimble, it's too easy to jab your eye. And it's happened, so don't take a chance. Keep your work area clear of things you don't need and excess clutter. apply glass beads, rhinestones, metal nailheads and rivets, and anything that can break a needle AFTER the sewing is completed. Don't risk sewing over glass or metal, it can be tragic. And wear safety glasses if sewing beaded or embellished fabric and trims. And once again, never use the machine when tired or sick. And also: what everyone else said.
Smoke detectors don't really detect smoke; rather they detect small particles in the air. Usually, there is a a small radioactive sample and a detector. Particles in the air obstruct the decaying matter, causing fewer to reach the detector. When the number of such particles drop below a threshold, the detector sounds. The particles can be smoke, but also condensing moisture from a shower. Likely, all detectors will do this, depending more on the location of the detector in relation to the shower. You can prevent it from going off by turning on the vent in the bathroom (if you have one) or only leaving the bathroom door open a crack after stepping out. The steam will escape slowly, and will be less likely to trip the alarm.
yes, some times mine goes off in the kitchen with a boiling pot of water steaming on the stove
