Realistically how long will the battery in a smoke detector last?
Build a fake tree out of sono tubes cover with chicken wire or lath to make it tree like. Paint to match environment, like at Cabellas. Hell, they do it with cell phone towers. You can make it look like a rock, hillside, tree or giant mushroom like at the mall. Did partake in a Journeyman upgrade course that was given for work at Disneyland (I imagine they still do every now then), to manicure future Union employes, to build all sorts of things. Missed out on building that monstrosity used in Waterworld, but many I knew were involved.
Do you have the right drivers ? is there ink in the cartridges ? and as for the paper pick up roller it sound like it needs to be cleaned so get some rubber renew and some Q tips and rub it firmly on the pick up roller to clean it but don't get the renew on the printer it will eat the plastic so be care full and do the whole roller. paper dust does this to all printers.
