Stop that beeping!!

Just thought that I'd share with you our funny story of the week....

So for the past four days Jason has been on the search for this beeping noise in the house. It sounds like any typical smoke detector whose battery needs changed. So naturally, he goes to the one closest to where the beep is coming from - Nope that's not it. Then it stops. The next day, the beep begins again. Now he is thinking that it is our humidifier sensor telling us that our water level is too low....so he fills it up. Nope, not it. Then he disassembles the sensor b/c that has to be it. Nope, still a beep.

So then last night he is going mad over it all the while I just think its plain funny. So he goes around the three closes areas and dismantles everything -- and I mean everything!!! (Meanwhile, I'm kicked back in the front room getting my weekly dose of Bachelor) The longer he looks, the more agitated he is becoming. So after three fire alarms, the humidifier, the thermostat, and the carbon monoxide detector have all been dismantled ... we wait ... and there it is... another beep! I think this is hilarious - he doesn't! So we start banging on the walls around where the beep is. (Wait - first picture the two of us standing in a room trying not to breathe so that we can hear the beep when it goes off about every 2 minutes - and get agitated when the dogs move)

I tell him, it has to be coming from a cold air return vent in our kitchen. So we take that off just to find that it isn't in fact a cold air return but just some 4x4 beams from the remodeling. Whatever we did banging worked ... because now the beep is gone.... until today when Jason gets home from work and "BEEP" So he gets a mirror and flashlight and tries looking down that cold air return. Guess what he finds in the middle of a drywalled/painted wall ??? A smoke detector that has been left or fallen during the remodel and its battery is low. So now he must become McGuyver (sp?) and get some hangers opened up and hooked together to get this thing so that we don't have to put a whole in the wall. After about 30 minutes --- tada! The beep is no more! And that is what life is like in the Williamson home this week!
