When someone walks over a certain part of the loft floor, all the smoke alarms in the house beep (lemmy.world)
 

Honestly I am so bloody baffled by this.

I removed the smoke alarm that would be affected by vibration from the loft floor (which was in the room directly underneath), but the other alarms still go off when someone walks up there (they're all wired together, so when one goes off they all go off). I removed the one that's in the loft too, but it still happens.

I have no fecking idea what else to do 😅 should we go in under the loft floor to have a look, or into the ceiling underneath the loft floor? Any suggestions for what to look for? Should I be concerned that vibration is affecting wiring? Is it spooky ghosts?

Never let facts get in the way of a good joke.

If Polish President Dude gets a public holiday named after him, would it be Duda Day?

Not to be that person buuut...you should really report this. Someone could die.

I have a wee small one, it does the job well enough for my needs! It doesn't feel as premium as a shed but as a safe place to chuck the lawnmower/strimmer, it's grand.

One thing to note though if it's floored, be mindful of ventilation since the metal doesn't breathe like wood does.
