Bob: Is... is there a reason that there is a sledgehammer embedded in the ceiling?
David: For the safety of everyone in the house, let's never get a carbon monoxide detector again.
1/27/2022, 1:10 PMSpeaking as somebody who's sensitive to loud noises, carbon monoxide/smoke detector low battery beeps seriously stress me out. And the unending beeping following a battery change has definitely happened before.
Unrelated, I don't think I've ever set another strip in the Yellow Room.

3/31/2022, 9:59 AMGod none of the smoke detectors in my parents' place are in easy to reach locations either. Every time the smoke alarm in my old bedroom went off (and for a few years before we flat out replaced them this would be like once every seven or eight months, and always at night), my dad would have to haul a ladder upstairs just to replace the batteries.

It silences the back-up battery, not the dead one. So, the ol' broomstick wasn't helpful, still had to figure out how to reach it. I ripped it out of the ceiling :)
