That ceiling looks so good! (Good video, too.)
Something about this video made it amazing
Thank you, Paul! 😊💪💪💪💪
I enjoy watching your build. I think I started when you were setting up slab heating. I like your attention to detail and planning. I originally thought the insulation was golden, what a pain to fix and extra learning. I noticed you used Wago connectors. I’m good with that for low current situations such as modern lighting and alarms. I’m still old fashion on higher current such as outlets. I prefer wire nuts properly installed for maximum surface contact on the connection, especially when multiple outlets are serial on a single breaker. Also, only buy outlets with screw terminals so the wire can be wrapped before tightening. I’ve learned watching, and enjoy seeing someone reach a dream. Hope the concrete floor turns out great! It should the way insulated from the ground. Wish I knew that 3-1/2 yrs ago when building my shop. The electric bill is horrible in the winter with the concrete being a big heat sink.
You may already know this but all these type alarms are notorious for collecting dust and giving out a false alarm due to this. The easy fix is to periodically blow the dust out. Love the ceiling.
You should use an Electrical Receptacle Box Extension Rings on the wood shiplap ceiling.
It's usually a good idea to put your smoke alarm circuit on the master bedroom lighting circuit. Not a dedicated circuit.
Thanks for a great video.
How do I sync them together?
Nice video ! . Question Can I internconnect differents brands of Smoke detectors for example Kidde with X-sense ? It will work ? . Thanks
Hello Paul , just curious if you plan on putting some kind of fire escape upstairs. Me being a father of 4 kids and was a firefighter for 8 years. Just herd to many horrible stories about kids being trapped. Thanks for serving and your doing a great job on this build. God Bless
NFPA recommends changing detectors out every ten years. I bet this gets missed in a lot of houses.
I didn’t quite understand how they interconnect. Do you wire them all in series throughout the entire house? Or do you use the Green wire from the 14/2 as the wire to interconnect all the alarms at the panel? Or did you run an individual wire to all of them in series as a communication wire ?
If you were not required by local code to use a hardwired system, would you have gone the same route with all the rough in ect? If so what are the advantages of this system as opposed to individual devices?
What are you doing about security systems - phone integrated cams, motion sensors, etc..
Dunno if you're still responding to comments but we are replacing all of our smoke detectors in our house. They were installed 2006. We pulled out all of the upstairs alarms and hooked up one to make sure we were doing it correctly. When we turned on the power, the one we installed started alarming. Is this because we took the others out but not replaced them? Should we put the new ones in place before turning on the power. I know, this is probably basic, but right now I feel like an idiot. Thanks in advance.
How does the 14/3 connect into the breaker box? Do you just cut the red off at the first alarm so it doesn't head back to the box?
Any particular reason you went with a 120V AC solution instead of a low voltage system?
How much does this cost to get done? And how did you know where the connectors were?
Always keep an abundance of batteries. My alarms low-battery beep always happens at 2am and we can never figure out which one is low so we change them all.
