Forgot that this was the Amazon driver. I *really* hope he was cranking “Ride of the Valkyries” in the way to my house.
Detector installed, and since I had the big ass ladder out, ceiling fan got a deep cleaning too.
Ain’t nobody got time to put new batteries in every year so I’m gonna rock one of these newfangled 10-year jawns instead
Four smoke alarms in the house, guess which one decided to start chirping at 3am? The one in the room with the vaulted ceiling that needs the big ladder to reach.
