Hate one thing in my new house

It's still too close to the bathroom though, which they also took into account, but just apparently ran out of space. In certain conditions, if we open the bathroom door after a shower, the water vapor will set off the alarm.

This happened everyday at our last apartment in VA... I had no idea that this could happen...

Thank you Mr. Bloom,

I'll check into external downdraft. The wall behind the stove top separates the laundry room and the kitchen. Easy access. And my house has a crawl space under and not on a slab. I could easily run the vent to the outside, not just into the crawl space but to the outside outside.

For the time being, I removed the offending alarm. I think it's defective. Shake it and it goes off. spin it and it goes off. It just wants to SCHREECH!!

And yes each bedroom does have a smoke/CO detector and another one at the top of the staircase.

Sad that I'm not the only one who have or has had the same problem. Didn't even think about steam from the shower setting it off

I don't mean to sound unsympathetic to your plight, sc, but your posts are really funny! Thanks for the laugh.
