I have 2 sets of king sized sheets to make my fort out of, but I can't figure out how to anchor the sheets. I have a desk on one wall, my vanity on the adjoining wall, my bed on the next wall and a cubby/bookshelf thing on the last wall. Therefore I have all flat, smooth surfaces and I don't know how to get the sheets to stay put.
no the red head couldn't have died its not the red hair way
Carbon monoxide is never the problem. Moisture is the thing to worry about. You don't need to vent it to the outside if you are prepared to deal with the consequences of condensation Cutting a small hole in brick MIGHT cost you $100, and the dryer vent kit is $15. Is it real brick, or faux? If it just faux, any handyman can do the entire job in 1/2 hour, for about $50, at least that's what our service guy charges in MI
Sounds like some schmutz of some kind or other got into your system and settled on the heat exchanger or heat coils of your heating system. Then when you turned it back on, that stuff got hot and generated enough smoke to either set off the smoke alarm built into your heat (I have that all through the buildings here where I work) or else the smoke alarm in your residence. If you're at all familiar/comfortable with heating devices you could open yours up and see if you can see what's causing the problem. Just for starters, change the filter (it's probably due anyway), get a flashlight and peer around inside there and see what's up. It's rare, but sometimes you get a mouse or something that manages to get into the ductwork, and next thing you know he's flash-fried on the heating coils. THERE's a smell you don't forget quickly. If you can't find it, try running the heat for short periods, cook off the debris while trying to minimize the smoke generated. I really don't have much better advice than that, short of disassembling the system and actually finding the source of the problem. That's a lot of work for most folks. Good luck with it.
