Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
My smoke alarms have a nasty habit of going off in the middle of the night. I’m in a humid area, wondering if that is the cause or maybe something to do with the HRV pumping different temperature air over them.
Smoke alarms normally say not to install within X distance (50cm maybe?) of a duct. Not sure if that’s because of dust or heat, I know our DVS gets big circles of grime around them from what I assume is grubby ceiling air (even though it has a filter) that needs cleaning every few years. Hard to see if you’re not up close, though.
Humidity might be an issue, because I was silly enough to put a smoke alarm where shower steam would reach (our house has a weird layout) and it would set off the smoke alarm. However, I’ve never heard of just generally humid air being a problem, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t.
