My smoke detectors have been chirping for a while. I checked the 9v battery with the multimeter to see if they died. Nope, still good I checked the detector’s sticker on the back and saw it was made in 2003. They’re 20 years old now and I guess no longer good. So, I ordered a new pack of hardwired interconnect detectors.

    I should do that too. I’m pretty sure I changed them out less than a decade ago, but

    • there’s one chirping in the storage room I should hunt down
    • I don’t know if there’s a working one in the basement
    • there’s a really annoying one in the hallway that announces when dinner has been cooked enough

    But also a way to respond

    • I think the fire extinguishers are long expired
    • to replace I bought these fire blankets that will never expire but I need to hang them convenient to likely fire risks
