Brings up the safety question. Where should CO detectors in a house be placed ? We have to check for these things on certain walk throughs.No smoke alarms have gone off since this morning so that's cool. Installed three new 10-year battery ones including a combo platter one in the basement for smoke/carbon monoxide.
Pondering replacement of the two way up high ones. Think I can, maybe, reach the bedroom one with 12-footer. Might have to build a platform on kitchen counter to put a ladder on for the one in great room.

Did you end up getting tickets for this wkend?
CO detectors are best placed one per each house story and are best shoulder height approximately. Prefer them and smoke detectors near bedrooms so they wake you while sleeping. One in the same room as the furnace also since that will be the largest issue area. HUD also requires ones in attached garages.Got conflicting info on how close/far they should be from water heaters or furnace etc when I tried to research a little. I have a plug in one with a readout in the bedroom. Today I Installed a 10-year battery combo smoke detector/CO detector in basement hall at bottom of stairs down the hall from furnace and maybe six feet from hot water heater.

Yeah, I never understood the garage one. We will tell them that there just needs to be one when we are there (hint for them that they can pull it afterwards due to warming cars up and such), if the garage isn’t fully finished and heated, several will start their cars to warm them up.Pretty much what I've got except plug in monitor one with the readout is floor level. Not putting one in the garage until you can buy one designed for that use that is not too sensitive. I have heard of old peeps who have forgotten to turn off car after they park. Also imagine with all of the remote start stuff someone, like a little kid, could start the family mobile when it's parked in the garage.
Got me thinking about code for the door between garage and living are. Code was changed for single family to make these have a automatic door closer so you didn't have an open door and maybe let nasties in. Well, they found the door closers were such a pain in the ass to install and keep adjusted right that they left lots of doors not fully closed, sort of defeating the purpose. So changed the code again here to not required.
Yeah, we warm our cars up in the garage in the winter. I'm spoiled.Yeah, I never understood the garage one.

Random #1: Been looking at this huge pile of street salt in front of my house all week. A pile inches deep that the city truck inadvertently dropped in mass. Finally shoved it up into a box. Maybe #30 or #40 worth. Maybe I'll spread it on the alley ice after the snow tonight is plowed. I don't use this stuff on my sidewalk (exposed aggregate) or in the drive (concrete block pavers).
Random #2: Side benefit of never driving anywhere, garage floor is clean and not it's usual wintery mess.
