….sixteen feet up in my vaulted ceiling started chirping. No ladder that would get me sixteen feet in the air.

I cut the power hardwired in but the battery continued to let it chirp. I went into the attic and climbed through the scissor trusses to try and access it but no luck. After pulling my fat ass up into the attic and back down all I had was desperation.

I Grabbed the wifes golf ball retriever, went to the top of the stairs, and beat the smoke detector until the battery fell out. Jeff 1 – Smoke Detector 0.

Tomorrows activities, buying new smoke detector, and a $300.00 ladder tall enough to get to said smoke detector.

I am tired. Goodnight.
