In my dim and distant past I did get a degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and I do love to build and modify any house I get my hands on to make it more suitable for a family's needs:-)

I worked as a builder a couple of times as well, once doing houses/apartments and once doing aluminium furnaces

comment Where should carbon monoxide detector be located?
Hmmm - the page I was reading said avoid the ceiling and floor, as the CO was only slightly different so it would move with airflow. I'm guessing I misread lighter/heavier - either way, it is very similar, so ceiling is not good, unlike heat detectors etc.

Too many false positives if you place them too close to the furnace. And the ceiling may not pick up CO, as it is slightly heavier than air.

comment How can I keep neighbor's cats from using my yard as their litter box?
Will try and find one - it does basic location finding using IR and points the jet the right direction. Looks awesome. I was tempted to buy one last year :-)

There is a version of this which actually aims the water jet at any moving animal in the garden, which is much more fun!
