allowed to stay while I do it because of some crap called liability so they/I just hope my lack of balance and arthritis does not allow me to fall. I live in a disability/senior complex so go figure that one out. My boyfriend can not do it as he is in Canada until the 14th of November. My other friend is 45 minutes away and has a job and does work after his job so uhmm yeah. The rest of my friends near me can't do it either. I used to ask my ex but since he got in a motorcycle accident he is no longer able to do that type of stuff. I hate disability.

You can get 10 year smoke detectors, ramblin_dave Oct 2017 #3

They claim ten years because of lithium 9v. batteries. Might be worth looking into. FailureToCommunicate Oct 2017 #7
