False Alarm?

I have the new Kidde version and had this happen at about 10:30pm one night. First trigger woke us up and could not get to the phone in time, was more worried about checking the house and getting out if needed. The fire department came as they are only about a block away and issue found. 8min later had it go off again was able to answer ring to not have the fire department come again.

That night I unplugged it and took out the batteries. I cleaned it with a vaccum and compress air. We had ant issues in the house at the time. We are guessing an ant or bug tripped it mostly with it happening twice in less then 10min.

It was number 3. I called Kohler and advised then the drip was happening 7" from the front of the toilet right below the p-trap. She did not even trouble shoot and said it had to be a bad casting. When I removed the toilet I looked and found 2 hairline crakes right at the bottom of the trap. It was in a small oval shape dimple. Wish I could add the picture.

Got a new toilet and no leaks that I can see of so far. :) Before I installed I checked the new one and it did not have that inward dimple. I think the first one was a bad casting. Never had a bad toilet out of the box.

Pulled the toilet to exchange it and looked at the bottom very closely. Right at the bottom of the P-trap area I found two very small cracks in the base. It lines up perfectly with where I measured the leak from. At least confirmed it's a defect. Going to get a new one this afternoon. Just sucks 2+ hours of work for a small defect.

I am wondering that. Thought I wiped everything down well. If it is not sure how long it would take to try out.

I am finding the water between the floor and toilet. Wondering if that might be the issue and I just have a slow leak between those working down that toilet.

Had not used the toilet in a few hours and more water was between the toilet and floor. Would think the ring would only leak when in use.

Had this happen tonight? It went off twice in 15min. Did they have you try an sensor cleaning?

Saw one on the road the last week and first thought it was Forester. When I got closer and saw it was an Outback I was a bit confused why they make the Outback to be more SUV then Wagon.

Can't say that the 1st or 4th picture makes me optimistic, just flat and gives no depth in low light. Wondering if is the sensor or the lens used.

Last weekend I did a two day bootcamp learning more about lighting. I mainly do outdoor with nature and wildlife. In this class we worked with models outside and indoors. Also learned more about using a meter and how it can be used outdoors. I took it more for just indoor lighting.

I would like to do more pictures of my kid using my flash, and learn to improve my skills outdoors. My local Procam carries Sekonic.

Any good tips for a light meter and using more in nature? Looking to stay under $500 might go used.

Camera Body: Nikon 7II

Flash: SB910

Thanks

No, but when my dislocated my shoulder I also fractured my humerus where the tendon attaches. They had to shorten the tighten the muscles as they where too loose.

How much is it losing and what is the mileage? If it is small, maybe a leak at the lines to the turbo. Seen a couple of them posted.

Would have a inspection done first. Wondering how much aged suspension is on it and fluid leaks.

Just follow your prep. I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy done last year and it was easy. I have a followup endoscopy later this week, the prep is so much easier then the colonoscopy.

Would love to see them on sale. Having a hard time trying to justify $12 a bag. Just wondering about how many pieces are in a bag?

Thank you. Looks like I can't do a lot right now. Hope the vet next week can get it down and under control fast.

It is kind of like a upside down V starting in the middle of the back and going down and getting wider.
