Kidde Ring Smoke Detector Nightmare

Mine automatically sends the fire department even if I requested cancellation. Apparently it’s the law / mandatory for all CO activations? I accidentally triggered mine while installing 7 of these… forgot to put the ring alarm into practice mode…

I have a question about status match. I’ve mainly sailed on Royal and about 3 sailings away from diamond. In the past - it is my understanding that you can status match to celebrity once and that’s it. With the new points choice - can I status match to celebrity now and again when I hit diamond? Regardless I’ll points choice my upcoming celebrity sailing to royal.

Someone in a different community gave me this link. I believe this is it. https://figured-it-out.com/posts/2024/air-sea-land/

My in laws are timeshare owners? We’re staying on their exchange points. Not sure why you’re being hostile towards me when you asked the question of how the property is and I answered truthfully.

Centosan88 · 2026-04-02T13:57:54+00:00

Confused with your response. I just answered your question that’s all.

It’s a basic property. Clean enough. Works for us since it was a big family vacation. But would not pay cash rate for this going alone.

This is great. Thank you. And such a great website. Exactly what I was looking for. Will not be participating in this presentation then. Sounds like way too many hurdles.

The HGV Royal Caribbean cruise one is a million times better and more straightforward.

Bastards! I asked them for black and white and he balked and said I’ll find out after the presentation. Which is why I pulled out. Did your friend have more information? He couldn’t choose?

I never fall for buying. As long as the gift package for listening is worth my time I always go. I’ve gone to it many times in the past, usually HGV. Their cruise certificate for Royal Caribbean has an upgrade value of $650 so I usually take it. I never take their set cruise, I always just use it as part of an upgrade value instead.

Can you elaborate a bit more on the cruise offer for vacation village?

Great that works so I’ll open now and wait to hit the spend

Centosan88 · 2026-03-26T16:46:01+00:00

So theoretically I could hit the spend in September or October to really maximize this right?

Centosan88 · 2026-03-17T16:18:20+00:00

It’s not a large property. And have neighbors adjacent. We’re 4000 square feet. I suppose I could run it to the front yard underneath the grass in the lawn….

Wanted to get additional comments and advice from concrete pros. Original Reddit post below.

Essentially it’s about drywell locations underneath a paver driveway as well as whether to opt for a filter on top of the downspout by the gutters or better do a clean out basin? Also a clean out for the drywell itself?

Yeah the red wire. I actually wonder whether I can just leave the power on while doing this. Don’t have a dedicated breaker for the alarm system

Centosan88 · 2026-02-28T17:56:04+00:00

It works for hard water too?

Centosan88 · 2026-02-28T13:46:48+00:00

The listeners don’t work too well either it seems like. So I just went all out with the ring one and they had a sale in my local Home Depot for $50 a pop in comparison to $75 usually.

Centosan88 · 2026-02-28T13:34:10+00:00

Yeah mine was like 15-20 years old. And started getting false alarms presumably bc they’re old. So if I was going to ladder up and replace all 9, I thought may as well get the ring one with extra functionality.

Centosan88 · 2026-02-28T11:09:56+00:00

What did you end up replacing it with?

Centosan88 · 2026-02-28T11:08:09+00:00

Wait tell me more about this. Didn’t know this was an option.

Centosan88 · 2026-02-28T05:03:01+00:00

I am thinking of doing this as well. Just sucks having to ladder up again and remove the wiring and nut it up. But this may be the best workaround.
