Why do smoke detectors decide late at night is the time to start beeping about their battery? We were home all evening and it didn't beep once. Right after we turn off the lights to go to sleep, and there it is... the smoke detector is on the highest part of our bedroom ceiling (probably story and a half tall at that point) so we had to pull out our ladder (its a collapsible kind) and pull it out to full length. Neither of us are good at heights, luckily Kevin thinks things through and had me put shoes on before climbing the ladder (socks + ladder would've been bad). Its not what I wanted to do after turning in for the night, but safety first! and thank you past self for having purchased 9V batteries ahead of time! (still not sure why we happened to have them)
