Veritaserum Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) We have a two-story house with a vaulted ceiling. There's a smoke detector all the way up in the peak. Its battery is chirping. Ugh. It's placed a good 3'+ away from the nearest wall, so our lean-to tall ladder wouldn't help since you wouldn't be able to reach the alarm while standing on the ladder. You'd have to have a ridiculously tall A-frame to reach it. Any ideas? Someone I can hire to come do it, even?

dalynnrmc Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Spiderman? :lol: Sorry, couldn't resist. Maybe the local firemen would be willing to come help change it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Go, go, gadget arms!" Elastagirl from The Incredibles would be a good help. I think I will call the fire department. If they can't do it they at least might know who could.

Veritaserum Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 Update: We rented a 14' stepladder from Home Depot for $18. Since the electrician who wired our house was at least smart enough to place the alarm over the upstairs hallway, the 14' ladder was tall enough. I'm glad the beeping has stopped. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalynnrmc Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 ROFL! I'm glad I caught this update! Sorry you had to buy a ladder... but hey, maybe you'll need it again soon! Er... I mean... something... nice. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
