    Having smoke alarms is a good thing, but also make sure to have a fire extinguisher somewhere nearby.
    We seem to have the same passion in collecting tools, but being from Germany I'm mostly into Bosch. I'm close to completing the entire collection...😅

    Super important. Had a Thanksgiving day incident a few years ago & the fire department came. They offered to do a home inspection of fire safety while they were there and we were WAY under-alarmed for the size of our home. Took care of it immediately and never forgot all his advice. Every second counts. Glad you've got yours installed & have a Happy Thanksgiving.

    Home improvement never ends, I see your next one will be security to include Elexsa as your home buddy I even see you with Rumba a robotic vacuum you can just ask Elexsa to run it for you..

    Thanks for the video. Good idea on installing those even though just temporarily. I got a new one recently from Menards that has a 10 year battery in it. I have direct wired smoke and carbon detectors but one has malfunction so I got a the battery one. Alot less headaches. I have 10 foot ceilings and mine are so high they were hard to reach.

    Smoke alarms belong near ceiling.
    CO detectors belong near the floor.

    LOL @ interrupting a sponsored product installation to talk about a non sponsored product. I'm glad you did because I was thinking about the Milwaukee and now I'm not. Having the bit fall out sucks. I actually think I'm going with Makita. Both DeWalt and Milwaukee aren't manufactured in the USA and I prefer to buy USA.

    ? Co detector i sleeping area should be alot lower, ? Smoke alarm a bit further from stove on other wall-in kitchen...or you'll be wanting to smash it

      Yeah, you really need to put the CO2 detector lower, I have mine in the outlets at the baseboard level. They're all battery backup if there's a power failure. My 1st floor smoke detector is in the living room, hard wired, but the problem is the stove in the kitchen is about 12' away. Always having issues with it going off when using stove.

    Is that pipe really for a loo? - it looks pretty narrow for that, My soil pipes are like 6' diameter min. Unless you shit like a rabbit I reckon you're gonna get blockages all the time. Also just my two pence worth - get a smoke alarm system that's hard wired then if one goes off in another room they all start screaming simultaneously. That bit of extra time can make all the difference to your survival chances.

      @@marchingmoto I did and it says USA standard toilet pipe is 3' in diameter!! ....................... Sorry, but that is inadequate for grown man's turds ( unless you are suffering from Delhi Belly and use just 3 sheets of paper per squirt). I am in the UK and 4' to 6' is typical for domestic joints, and even then blockages can occur if someone is very generous with their wiping habits, or you have just snapped off a baby's arm. Apparently, you only get a 4' to 6' pipe in the USA, in industrial situations - maybe English turds are generally industrial size, after all, we do eat a lot of fibrous food like spuds..........................

    Smoke should be mounted high (heat goes up)… CO should be mounted low (CO goes down). Never seen a combo, doesn’t make sense.
