Warning about smoke detectors!
 

Don't laugh. This ain't pretty! I replaced my shower door in my master bath yesterday. As the sealant was not cured, I decided to shower in the hall bathroom. This is not the first time I used the shower in this bathroom, but I usually use the tub in there because I don't have a tub in my master bedroom. Anyway, I forgot to turn on the fan, but had the door open. Half way through the shower my smoke detectors go off. I run all over my house looking for the smoke. There was none. I realized it was the steam from the shower that set off the smoke detector in the hallway by that bathroom. Well, I have a security system with smoke detectors and other smoke detectors that are wired into my house. I pushed the buttons on both trying to reset them and could not get them to go off. I had visions of the Fire Department arriving with me in my birthday suit, frantically trying to turn off the *&^%$ smoke detector. I checked my security system and found those were not the detectors that were triggered. I finally had to reset the circuit breaker to get the *&^%$ smoke detectors to turn off. Lesson learned: Don't put a smoke detector next to a bathroom with a shower. If you do, seal the thing with plastic before you take that hot shower!

You may all stop laughing now!:blush08:

Lol! At first I thought this would be some sort of safety warning...:D

That is toooooooooooo funny:sidesplt: :sidesplt:

Awww what a nightmare!!

OMG, I'm sorry but I am s-t-i-l-l cracking up:eyetearss

omg! the same thing happened to me just the other day..
i didnt know what the heck happened.. oh no !!! fire in my house and
im naked in the shower!!!!! holy crap... so i rushed out soaking wet,
naked and the stupid alarm wouldnt stop.. wrapped myself in a towel
looking upwards in the hall way hearing this loud thing going off.. and would
not stop,.. what to do, what to do... now im panicking, this alarm would not
go off, im in a towel and now the neighbors are going to come over...
so i grabbed a stool with 2 steps so i can reach the ceiling to shut this thing
off and my towel comes off me and the kitchen window is right there and
so are my neighbors window.... oh god... but i got it off, thank god...
that has never happend before... next time i close the bathroom door

smoke detectors
 

I finally beat mine up with a hammer to get it top shut off!!!!! Couldnt figure out what set it off. Maybe its the high humidity????? Funny story!!!! Lynn

yes, it was the high humidity,,, i couldnt figure out how to shut it off either,
then just pushed the button... duh it went off

OMG, I am so glad this happened to someone else! I too got on a step stool to try to turn off the darn thing, and lost my towel, right in front of a large picture window that looks right into my neighbor's stair well. So glad they were not home!

:lol tears :lol tears :lol tears :lol tears

I am just cracking up! Thanks for the warning and experiences you guys!

That is too funny. that sounds like a Lou story! :lol tears
But I am glad neither one of you had a a real fire.

That's just too.....wrong. Oh my.
Reminds me of the time that the shock holding the top of the tanning bed let go and the whole thing came down on me. I gathered super human strength to get on my hands and knees to force the top up because I didn't want the firemen to see me......exposed:o

I'm glad you two didn't have fires, but oh my gosh I have a visual that is SO funny! Can you imagine what the Firefighters would say when they showed up! LMAO!!!

Ok, I have tears in my eyes now from laughing!! Sorry!! I just can't get the visual out of my head of you two with the smoke alarms, and then the tanning bed.... LOL!

We also have a whole house fire alarm system. If the main one goes off, they all go off. I don't have a clue how to shut it off. I hope that never happens!
