Description
The City of Bloomington and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority hosted the 10th Home Improvement Fair on Saturday, February 25, 2012. Fairgoers attended how-to seminars, visited with home improvement exhibitors, asked questions and got ideas for upcoming remodeling projects.
A
I'm
John
I'm
with
the
city
of
Bloomington,
here,
I
I'm,
the
coordinator
for
their
time
of
sale,
program,
building
inspector
with
this
city
also
I,
suppose
most
of
you
are
probably
here
because
you're
thinking
of
selling
or
going
to
sell
your
home
in
the
future.
Here
this
is
a
program
that
the
city
has
enacted
in
or
started
up
in
1995
they
had
a
housing
program
that
they
wanted
to
call
the
time
of
sale.
A
They
want
to
make
sure
that
the
stock
of
the
city
housing
was
in
good
shape
and
that
items
were
corrected
that
related
to
sanitation,
life,
safety,
health
and
welfare.
We
try
to
address
that
with
this
program.
There's
there's
many
things
that
will
be
looked
at
during
your
housing
inspections.
A
lot
of
this
stuff
will
be
kind
of
compared
to
when
your
house
was
built
to
where
it
meets
now
in
code,
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
things
that
even
on
new
houses,
you
can't
always
meet
the
code
requirements
on
new
houses
with
there's.
A
There's
things
that
we
don't
ask
to
be
fixed.
We
always
deal
with
the
life,
safety,
health
and
welfare
part
of
those
items
that
do
need
to
be
fixed
and
kind
of
go
through
this
and
do
a
quick
rundown
of
most
of
the
common
things
that
will
find
I'd,
say
probably
out
of
out
of
hundred
homes.
We
find
75%
of
these
are
usually
at
least
the
most
common
of
these
that
there
needed
to
be
fixed.
So
almost
everyone
has
them
to
keep
the
time
flowing
a
little
bit
I'll.
A
Okay
time
of
sale
program,
we
look
for
smoke,
detectors
in
all
bedrooms
now,
and
each
level
of
a
home
code
got
changed
quite
a
while
ago,
where
they
now
require
smoke
detectors
in
each
bedroom.
They
now
require
I'm
on
each
level
and
you'll
have
on
maybe
a
two-story
at
home.
You
got
three
bedrooms:
you'll
get
five
smell
detectors,
one
for
the
basement,
one
from
the
main
level,
and
then
each
one
of
the
bedrooms
will
get
its
own
detector.
A
Certain
locations
as
smoke
detectors
make
them
operable,
and
that
means
you
don't
want
them
located
outside
the
bathroom.
You
don't
want
them
in
the
kitchen
there
shouldn't
be
located
within
that
corner
of
the
ceiling
and
wall.
There
is
a
4-inch
rule
there,
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
there
are
four
inches
out
because
smoke
does
a
rolling
effect,
so
they
want
to
make
sure
that
they're
installed
properly
so
that
it
when
smoke
does
get
there.
A
If
it
does
that
you
can
get
out
as
fast
as
possible
without
anyone
getting
harmed
or
hurt
again
it's
it's
one
of
those
things
where
smoke
detectors
have
managed
to
save
lives
within
the
city.
Here,
as
soon
as
this
program
got
implemented,
it
cut
the
death
rate
of
casualties
and
house
fires
in
half.
Since
this
program
came
in.
So
it's
it's
very
useful.
It's
a
cheap
insurance
policy.
A
A
This
is
a
hardwired
smoke.
Detector
best
locations
definitely
are
on
a
ceiling.
Walls
work
fine
too.
It's
the
detectors
nowadays,
they're
all
very
sensitive.
There,
they've
gotten
much
better
over
the
years,
so
you
won't
really
have
a
bad
location
for
them.
You
can
pretty
much
put
them
anywhere.
Yes,.
A
Thing
is,
if
you
put
them
up
in
that
corner,
that
room
would
pretty
much
have
to
fill
up
in
order
for
that
smoke
detector
to
go
off
unless
it's
a
very
sensitive
smoke.
Detector
I'm
also
smoke
detectors
that
we
see
in
the
rooms
now
they're
they're,
still
older
smoke
detectors
they're
not
as
sensitive
as
the
new
ones
that
are
out
today.
So
we
still
ask
for
the
placement
manufacturers
have
their
specification
as
to
where
they
want
those
smoke
detectors
installed.
We
follow
those
specifications
because
we
want
it
to
work.
We
wanted
to
save
lives.
A
Again,
here's
our
our
location
on
a
wall,
four
inches
down
from
the
ceiling,
not
more
than
twelve,
this
one's
a
little
bit
out
of
that
range,
it's
kind
of
if
he
called,
but
it
would
still
work
all
apparatus
to
smoke
detectors
they
should
be
in
place.
They
should
be
operable
this
one's
missing
the
cover
they
all
have
to
be
testable.
A
lot
of
security
systems
have
smoke
detectors
in
them
that
part
about
it
is
once
you
dismantle
or
disarm
the
security
system.
Most
of
them
will
not
operate
the
smoke
detectors.
A
So
you
got
to
check
that
out
and
see
if
you
do
have
a
security
system
in
your
home
with
smoke
detectors
if
they're
still
operable
once
you
eliminate
service
with
them
again
missing
the
components
and
we
got
them
hang
in
there
too.
That's
that's
not
a
good
thing.
They
can't
be
hanging,
they
all
have
to
be
mounted
and
fastened
to
the
wall
or
ceiling
wherever
they
located
with.
With
a
lot
of
the
stuff
will
go
to
electrical.
We
we
make
sure
that
all
electrical
is
enclosed.
A
We
don't
want
shocks,
we
don't
want
fires,
we
want
L
or
electrical
to
be
the
way
it
should
be,
and
that
is
installed
in
a
box.
All
openings
closed
up,
nothing
tampered
with,
and
this
is
what
we
look
for
in
a
lot
of
homes.
This
little
picture
here,
it's
kind
of
an
example
of
a
little
rough.
In
of
what
they're
doing
you
got
a
junction
box
and
I'll,
let
some
wires
and
some
wire
nuts
there
that
all
goes
together
with
some
of
the
apparatus
of
electrical
cover
plates
too,
are
also
checked.
A
A
We
don't
we
don't
go
through
and
start
tearing
off
switch
plates.
That's
just.
We
have
testers
for
all
of
our
outlets
which
we
put
through
and
we
can
test
and
see
what
the
polarity
the
outlet
is,
whether
it's
wired
correctly
and
correctly.
You
know
if
it's
a
open
ground
or
if
it's
ungrounded
or
if
it's
a
neutral,
reverse
whatever
it
may
be,
as
long
as
it
doesn't
pose
a
shocking
hazard,
a
fire
hazard
or
any
other
situation
that
could
cause
or
be
detrimental
to
a
person
will
allow
it.
A
We
asked
we
ask
that
you
maybe
address
it
at
some
point.
That's
up
to
you,
but
if
it's
something
that's
going
to
be
a
hazard,
we'll
get
it
addressed
sure
again
with
panel
boxes
as
long
as
were
on
that
there's
a
lot
of
panel
boxes
that
are
older,
maybe
60,
amp
services.
We
look
at
those.
We
look
at
the
different
appliances
that
are
in
there
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
over
fusing
those
boxes.
A
Sometimes
we
see
multiple
boxes
or
sub
panels
that
are
put
on
the
system
that
usually
tells
us
that
there's
been
issues
with
the
electrical
system.
A
lot
of
times
when
we
see
that
will
call
out
for
certifications,
certification
means
that
at
a
licensed
electrical
contractor
comes
in
there
and
tells
us
or
verifies
to
us
whether
or
not
this
system
is
still
safe.
If
it's
not
safe,
it
gets
corrected.
If
he's
going
to
put
his
word
to
it,
that
it's
safe,
we'll,
let
it
be.
C
B
A
Probably
not
for
you
you're,
probably
not
real,
familiar
with
electrical
okay,
so
the
best
way
to
do
it
is
have
an
electrician
come
out
and
check
it
out,
usually
with
150
200
amp
boxes.
Everything
is
separated
out.
You
don't
have
to
worry
as
much
about
whether
or
not
you're
tripping
something
or
another
breakers
popping
somewhere
else,
just
because
they've
separated
out
all
the
rooms,
maybe
the
appliances
and
the
garage
they've
separated
everything
out,
so
that
is
on
its
own
separate
circuit.
That
circuit
is
usually
sized
for
the
capacity
of
those
things.
A
A
That's
when
you
start
seeing
these
problems
of
breakers
tripping,
maybe
even
tripping
more
than
once
or
twice
a
month
like
you're,
12
12
times
a
months
or
something
that's
when
you
start
seeing
that
that's
where
you
got
to
get
an
electrician
in
there
to
check
this
thing
out
with
our
time
of
sale.
We
do
check
that
stuff
out.
We
kind
of
if
we
look
for
the
red
flags.
A
D
A
A
No
we're
getting
off
in
two
different
tangents
here,
I
think
for
inspection.
That's
a
whole
nother
story,
we're
doing
time
of
sale
here
any
work
the
electrician
does
on
a
permit
with
a
permit.
Work
is
going
to
be
inspected
by
our
electrical
inspectors
for
time
of
sale
right
now.
What
we
look
at
is
time
to
say
all
evaluate
errs.
Is
we
check
out
the
different
things
with
electrical?
If
we
see
those
red
flags,
that's
what
we
call
out
for
certification
by
a
contractor
he's
going
to
verify
whether
it's
right
or
wrong.
A
A
I've
gone
through
many
houses
in
the
city,
where
I've
seen
and
I
don't
want
to
say
that
it's
right
or
wrong,
but
it's
just
not
right
either
to
have
showers
draining
the
floor
drains
laundry
tubs
draining
the
floor
drains.
Many
of
many
things,
even
bar
sinks,
going
to
floor
drains
floor
drains,
are
not
sighs
to
handle
loads
of
water.
They're
meant
to
keep
an
air
trapped
there
and
use
for
clean
out
and
in
case
of
any
kind
of
water
that
does
spill
there.
It
gets
the
floor
drain.
A
A
A
We
we
don't
ask
for
anything
more
on
those
the
plane
spigots.
We
have.
We
have
stuff
at
our
community
development
counter
that
has
examples.
Plane,
spigots
are
just
bigots.
They
don't
have
backflow
prevention,
we're
always
going
to
get
backflow
prevention
on
it
and
that's
to
keep
water
from
being
contaminated
in
our
homes
and
to
the
city,
water.
So
you'll
see
backflow.
Prevention
may
be
called
out
on
outside
spigots,
on
laundry
tub
spigots
and
also
are
very
famous
one
is
our
handheld
showers.
They
have
handheld
showers
that
do
have
backflow
prevention
orientem.
A
There
is
a
lot
of
them
that
are
being
sold
without
backflow
prevention.
The
plumbing
code
calls
out
where
any
handheld
shower
that
goes
below
the
spill
line
of
a
tub
or
receptor
needs
to
have
backflow
prevention
on
it.
Now
the
specifics
on
a
handheld
shower
they've
got
different
types
of
backflow
prevention
that
a
forum
some
are
built
in
again.
Some
are
just
little
adaptors.
They
don't
look
anything
like
this
they're,
really
pretty
and
clean
the
nice
little
silver
thing
that
you
just
screw
on,
put
your
hose
to
it
and
you're
done
so.
A
There's
there's
also
in
line
preventers
that
you
can
put
in
that
when
you,
if
you've
got
it
behind
a
wall,
you
can
put
an
inline
preventer
for
the
plumbing
system
itself
in
the
piping
many
different
ways
of
doing
these
things,
but
all
these
go
back
to
protection
of
the
water
system
hose
spigot
here
this
is
our
normal
hole.
Spigot
again,
that
one
would
require
a
backflow
preventer
same
thing:
normal
hold
spigot
would
require
a
backflow
preventer
our
thread
in
laundry
tub,
wherever
you
can
attach
a
hose
to
it.
This
is
the
reason
for
it.
A
People
have
hoses
on
them;
they
leave
them
sitting
inside
the
tub.
It
needs
a
back
foot
or
no
again,
you
can
do
other
things
with
that.
If
you
don't
want
to
pull
up
a
venture
on
there,
you
could
always
destroy
the
threads
on
it.
You
know
make
it
so
you
can't
attach
a
hose.
That
would
be
fine
too.
It's
not
pretty,
but
it
would
work.
A
This
is
what
we're
looking
for
on
toilet
tanks.
This
is
our
flush
valve
and
our
fill
valve,
and
you
got
one
inch
of
gap
across
there.
That
needs
to
be
up
exactly
that
way.
That's
supposed
to
be
there
on
that
picture,
because
if
that
fill
valve
is
underwater,
it
can
actually
siphon
that
water
back
into
your
drinking
water
system.
I've
only
seen
this
happen
once
the
only
way
I
could
tell
was
because
they
had
a
tidy
Bowl
one
of
those
little
blue
disks
in
there,
and
it
came
out
of
the
shower.
A
That
was
the
only
time.
I
actually
saw
it
or
could
verify
it,
but
it
does
happen.
That's
why
it's
in
our
plumbing
code!
This
is
why
we
also
look
for
it.
So
there's
different
types
of
valves
out
there
there's
a
fluid
master
which
black
and
gray
and
it's
an
adjustable
valve.
You
can
always
replace
them.
They're
easy
to
put
in
there's
some
I,
don't
even
know
the
names
of
some
of
the
other
ones
here,
but
they've
got
the
white
ones.
20
they've
got
the
same
ones
that
are
in
that
picture
there.
A
With
the
ball
float
there
you
can
use
the
they
all
work,
they're
all
for
backflow
prevention.
As
long
as
they're
adjusted
properly
electrical
grounding,
we
look
for
with
the
panel
box.
We
make
sure
your
electrical
grounding
is
back
at
the
water
meter
with
that,
it's
a
usually
a
number
for
number
six
wire
that
goes
from
one
piece
of
pipe
to
the
other
pipe
and
it
bypasses
around
the
meter.
It's
a
continuation
of
the
ground
of
your
electrical
panel
box.
A
A
lot
of
you
might
have
old
wells
and
in
your
in
your
homes
and
the
ground
used
to
go
to
the
casing
on
the
well
once
the
well
is
disabled
or
sealed.
That's
where
you
got
changed
the
grounding
now
and
you
got
to
put
it
to
an
active
system.
So
the
water
meter
is
now
your
active
system,
even
even
if
your
well
is
still
in
place.
It
goes
back
to
the
active
water
system,
so
you'll
just
get
a
little.
A
little
wire
clamp
like
this
going
right
around
from
pipe
to
pipe
and
right.
A
A
Again,
you
can
see
the
clamp
down
below
there.
We've
got.
You
know
it's
another
example
with
electrical
here's,
one
of
our
big
E's
years
ago.
They
they
built
garages
and
garage
door.
Openers
were
not
not
really
prevalent,
it
won't
open
their
door
by
hand.
Now
we
get
garage
door
openers
in
place
and
there
was
never
outlets
for
garage
door
openers,
so
they
started
wearing
electrical
cords
or
extension
cords
to
feed
from
the
outlet
to
go
to
garage
door.
Opener
extension
cords
are
only
a
temporary
type
of
wiring.
A
They're
meant
to
be
used
for
90
days
rolled
up.
Pull
it
out,
they
can
only
be
exposed.
90
days
is
what
the
electrical
code
code
actually
calls
out.
So
they're
not
meant
as
permanent
wiring.
Just
the
way
that
the
makeup
of
the
casing,
the
wiring,
is
so
any
any
cords
feeding
garage
door,
openers,
even
appliances
lighting,
you
know.
If
it's.
If
it's
used
in
a
permanent
fashion,
you
need
to
actually
install
outlets
or
wiring
to
take
the
place
of
those
electrical
cords,
so
that
will
cut
down
also
on
house
fires.
A
You
won't
believe
how
brittle
those
cords
actually
get
and
people
don't
see
that
so
yeah
any
any
extension
cords
that
are
feeding
anything.
That's
a
permanent
appliance
or
wear
a
permanent
'pliance
needs
an
outlet
and
it's
being
fit
by
an
extension
cord
of
some
sort.
We're
going
to
get
an
outlet
in
there.
A
A
We
make
sure
that
any
gas
piping
is
gas
piping
and
not
plumbing
pipe
and
used
for
gas
piping.
We
don't
want
to
see
plumbing
valves
used
as
gas
valves.
We
don't
want
to
see
plumbing
piping,
trying
to
be
used
as
gas
piping.
With
that
there
is
one
type
of
flexible
connector.
You
can't
buy
it
anymore,
but
it's
still
in
our
homes,
so
there's
one
flexible
connector
that
we
do
try
to
get
rid
of
and
it
lost
its
listing
for
use
many
years
ago
because
they
broke
many
many
times.
A
These
are
brass:
connectors,
they're,
flexible
and
they're
they're,
not
a
stainless
steel
connector
anymore,
so
these
old
brass
connectors
they
usually
put
out
by
brass
craft
they
get
taken
out.
We
have
them
removed.
You
can
put
it
in
a
stainless
steel,
one
you
can
put
in
roll
cop
or
whatever
works
as
long
as
it's
the
new,
the
new
gas
piping
that
is
for
use
with
today's
gas,
we're
okay
with
it.
A
We
have
all
the
handouts
for
that
stuff
up
at
the
Community
Development
counter
at
the
bean
eye
area,
all
of
its
available
there.
We
also
do
check
out
in
home
structural
issues.
So
a
lot
of
things
that
we
look
at
when
when
I
first
walk
up
to
a
home
first
thing:
I
I'm,
looking
at
is
your
roof.
I'm.
Looking
at
your
landscape
I'm
trying
to
see
some
telltale
signs
here
of
where
there
might
be
some
failure
in
the
house,
a
sagging,
the
roof
might
tell
me
that
maybe
there's
a
broken
rafter.
A
Maybe
it's
not
supported
properly
back
back
to
the
foundation,
will
tell
me
that
you're
going
to
get
a
hydrostatic
pressure
of
water
built
up,
you
might
have
a
failing
foundation
wall.
Maybe
it's
extremely
cracked
or
are
bulging
you're
buckling
I
have
run
into
it
in
the
city.
Here
we
have
gotten
them
fixed
again.
It's
it's
not
something!
That's
you
know
it's
going
to
be
detrimental
to
you,
but
it
is
something
that
we'd
still
have
to
address
with
structural
failures
that
could
also
involve
decks.
It
could
involve
stairways
floors,
walls
all
that
stuff.
A
D
E
D
E
D
E
A
Okay,
Bloomington
charges
$185
for
an
inspection.
We
are
one
of
the
cheapest
ones
out
there.
It
usually
takes
about
an
hour
to
an
hour
and
a
half
to
go
through
a
home,
condos
townhomes.
They
do
go
a
little
faster,
but
price
is
still
the
same.
I
don't
I
don't
make
up
the
price,
but
with
that
we
do
encourage
homeowners
to
follow
us,
so
they
can
learn.
What
is
corrected?
What
does
not
need
correction?
They
can
ask
questions
to
a
point,
so
we
can
at
least
get
our
job
done,
but
the
third
question
how.
A
Well,
since
it's
a
weekend
no,
but
during
the
weekday
usually
we
can
get
out
there
within
24-48
hours.
It
depends
I
mean
certain
times
the
years
it
gets
busier,
so
the
realogy
really
does
kind
of
push
how
this,
how
inspections
get
done
on
on
homes?
I
mean
as
far
as
how
busy
we
are
I
should
say:
she's.
A
F
A
Usually
we
can
get
out
there
within
48
hours,
max
I
would
say
again
it
does.
You
know
it
depends
on
the
home
I've
gone
into
some
homes,
where
I've
they've
been
pretty
in
pretty
bad
shape.
Some
of
them
have
taken
two
hours,
some
take
an
hour,
so
I'm
taking
an
hour
and
a
half
I
mean
it
depends
it's
it's
not
it's
not
that
the
homos
is
in
bad
shape,
and
maybe
it's
just
the
questions
or
other
things
that
we
look
at
I
just
take
longer.
A
A
That
is
what
they
require
now,
so
sometimes
people
opt
out
of
that
and
the
banks
will
let
them
opt
out,
but
some
banks
will
push
that
and
they
won't
let
them
opt
up,
so
it
I
wish.
There
was
a
better
scenario
for
you
on
that,
but
you
don't
have
to
pay
for
the
buyer's
inspection.
All
you
have
to
do
is
cover
your
time
of
sale,
inspection.
A
A
Don't
put
a
mandatory
requirement
on
that
for
the
time
of
sale
now,
I,
don't
think
you
can
buy
a
garage
door
opener
nowadays
anymore
yeah
without
those
there's
a
lot
of
the
old
ones
that
did
have
an
auto
reverse
feature
on
it,
though
they
you
know,
you
could
put
a
block
underneath
the
door
and
as
soon
as
that
door
hit
it,
it
would
automatically
reverse.
There
was
a
pressure-sensitive
one.
A
C
A
C
A
A
Well,
that's,
that's
a
contract.
I
I,
don't
know,
what's
all
involved
with
that,
but
we
do
look
at
that.
There
are
circumstances
where
I'll
poll
panel
cover
off
and
I'll
check
the
wiring
sequence
to
make
sure
that
wiring
does
meet
the
few
sizes.
Make
sure
that
that's
correct
at
least
there's
there's
many
instances
that
I'd
go
a
little
bit
beyond
what
we
should
just
because
there's
something
that's
a
red
flag
there
that
we
got
to
make
sure
of.
A
A
I've
been
hearing
of
homes
going
in
three.
You
know
seven
days
some
cases,
but
a
lot
of
them
still
sit
on
the
market
so
plan
for
that,
when
you
do
a
home
inspector,
when
you
set
up
your
home
inspection,
make
sure
you're
ready
to
put
your
house
on
the
market.
You
know
we
have
handouts
at
the
front
staff
or
at
our
front
counter,
I
should
say
which
will
go
through
all
the
items
that
we
kind
of
look
at
guarantee.
A
It
doesn't
cover
everything,
because
we
can't
give
you
a
booklet,
you
won't
read
it,
but
we
can
give
you
a
pamphlet
and
it'll
kind
of
tell
you
some
of
the
most
common
things,
and
maybe
you
can
do
a
little
pre-emptive
work
yourself
and
try
to
correct
some
of
the
stuff.
Before
one
of
us
comes
out.
There.
A
F
A
When
it
was
put
in
at
the
time
that
I
was
put
in
or
the
island
or
the
renovation
was
done,
it
would
have
had
to
meet
the
code
at
that
time.
Under
today's
code
the
kitchen
would
be
all
GFI
protective.
Okay,
any
outlets
in
there
would
be
GFI
protected,
but
we
don't
ask
for
that
on
time
of
sale.
No,
we
don't
ask
for
that
on
time
of
sale.
So
as
long
as
it's
not
going
to
pose
a
shock
or
a
fire
hazard,
we're
good
with
it.
So
any
other
questions.
H
D
H
I
was
thinking
about
buying
a
house
down
the
street,
but
then
I
saw
the
garage
door.
Opener
and
I
know.
That
was
a
state
because
I
saw
them
next
thing.
You
know
there
was
always
restoration
drugs,
there
I
think
I,
don't
they
have
water
damage
or
somebody
came
in
and
took
the
pipes
out.
I,
don't
know
what
it
was
all
these
restoration.
What
would
you
look
for
if
you
were
buying
a
house
that
you
know
had
damaged
when
they
weren't
there
I,
don't
know?
If
somebody,
you
know
something
happened.
Well,.
F
A
A
A
Good
good
good,
you
know,
I
didn't
even
think
about
bringing
that
one
up.
Okay,
carbon
monoxide
detection
is
required
by
state
statute,
but
this
is
a
big.
If
right
now
we're
waiting
to
see
it
in
cold
yet
see
our
fire
marshal.
I
already
sent
him
off
an
email
to
make
sure
what
the
requirements
were
for
this,
and
his
response
was
that
it
was
right
now
a
learning
curve.
They
wanted
to
get
carbon
dioxide
detection
in
homes,
but
it's
a
learning
curve
right
now
and
it's
not
in
any
codes.
A
It's
not
required
by
any
other
city
statutes.
Usually
some
studies
put
it
into
there,
maybe
the
rental
code
or
whatever
it
may
be,
for
rentals
or
multifamily
dwellings.
They
may
put
it
in
there,
but
his
response
was
basically
get
the
word
out.
Tell
people
about
the
requirement
carbon
monoxide.
It
is
required
by
state
statute,
but
I
can't
enforce
it.
So
I
give
up
pamphlets
to
everybody,
carbon
monoxide,
carbon
dioxide,
carbon
monoxide,
it
its
present.
It's
in
our
home.
We
tighten
up
our
homes
more
and
more
for
energy
efficiency.
A
Now
it's
become
an
issue,
the
more
we
tighten
it
up.
The
more
becomes
an
issue
years
ago
we
didn't
have
vinyl
siding,
we
didn't
have
energy
efficient
windows,
we
had
leaky
homes
and
these
leaky
homes
gave
us
air
changes
throughout,
and
carbon
dioxide
wasn't
as
much
of
an
issue
then,
but
with
saving
energy
and
making
making
our
phones
our
homes
more
efficient
and
less
costly.
C
A
You'll
get
false
readings.
Yeah
you'll
give
false
readings
of
those
in
the
furnace
room
next
to
any
gas
appliance.
Just
because
that
sudden
purge
it
comes
off,
you
want
to
have
them
located
within
10
feet
of
any
bedroom.
So
we're
not
talking
about
going
through
a
wall.
We're
talking
about
openings
to
doors,
so
10
feet
from
bedrooms
is
the
requirement
that's
out
there.
They
do
also
require
or
recommend
that
you
install
them
on
each
level.
The
height
can
vary,
depends
on
how
you
like
to
heat
your
house.
A
H
A
A
Well,
then,
you're
you're,
probably
fine,
then
no,
they
don't
want
it.
In
the
kitchen
there,
any
cooking
appliances
false
set
offs,
usually
tell
people
that
they
don't
need
their
detector.
Then
they
take
it
down
and
they
never
put
it
back
up.
So
those
are
just
locations
where
they
don't
want
them
installed,
because
for
that
reason
only
it
starts
going
off.
People
take
it
down
and
they
just
think
they're
nuisance.
They
never
put
them
back
up
and
then,
when
they
do
have
a
fire
there
is
no
detector
to
help
them
out
there.
