No. However, with the workload reaching normal levels, perhaps you, the reading public, may get a visit from Marcel, at long and lazy last&#8230;.</p> felicity http://faerye.net/post/squeepsqueep#comment-1755 2005-06-13T08:57:18+00:00 2005-06-13T08:57:18+00:00 <p>From the title of the article and the first paragraph, I thought perhaps you were tired enough to be receiving a visit from Marcel. :)</p> dr512 http://faerye.net/post/squeepsqueep#comment-1750 2005-06-07T18:17:33+00:00 2005-06-07T18:17:33+00:00 <p>Re: the title of your comment: You are such a cheeseball. <br /> <br /> And your solution is ridiculous. I hereby ridicule you for it in front of the internet. <strong>points and mocks</strong> My dad would say, &#8220;You have to be smarter than it is!&#8221;</p> felicity http://faerye.net/post/squeepsqueep#comment-1749 2005-06-07T18:16:22+00:00 2005-06-07T18:16:22+00:00 <p>I think you are correct, and have, in fact, confoimed the fact with the apartment managers. So I must find a 9-volt battery and do it myself, which the manager minion assures me does not involve a screwdriver.</p> felicity http://faerye.net/post/squeepsqueep#comment-1748 2005-06-07T11:12:13+00:00 2005-06-07T11:12:13+00:00 <p>I didn&#8217;t mention this to you yesterday since you seemed intent on solving the problem with diplomacy, but when faced with a similar problem in my first apartment, I finally just knocked the damn smoke detector senseless and left it hanging there, mangled and broken and silent. I figured if there was a fire in my little two bedroom first-floor apartment - with a window in every room - the heat and smoke and light would give me ample warning to escape.</p> <p> So the dead smoke detector hung from the ceiling for about six months. I made a half-hearted attempt to fix it before I moved out, but I had defeated it thoroughly and it had no intention of living ever again, so in the end I just stuck the pieces back together with duct tape. </p> wonko http://faerye.net/post/squeepsqueep#comment-1747 2005-06-07T09:44:49+00:00 2005-06-07T09:44:49+00:00 <p>heh&#8230;I remember trying to track down the source of a mysterious squeep myself not too long ago.<br /> <br /> Whilst the smoke alarm is wired into the AC supply, it also has a backup battery which is low and thus causing squeeping. If I recall, once detaching my smoke alarm from the ceiling and looking at it hanging from the mains supply wires, there was an additional door (perhaps even secured in place with a screw? The details are foggy) that covered the backup battery compartment.</p> Zeus
