What's Next from City Wide? Handyman Services - Video

Q. I've been dutifully checking my smoke detectors with the "push to test" buttons for many years. I'm intrigued by the idea of testing them with actual smoke. I tried it with a match once, but the alarm didn't go off. Should it have, or do I need much more smoke and/or heat?

A. I tried using a smoky flame some time ago, wrote about it, and received an angry note instructing me never, ever to use an open flame to test a smoke detector. The writer suggested I buy a little gadget that spews out carbon dioxide. You could do the same. It sounds as if your alarms are old, so I suggest you buy new ones, both smoke and carbon monoxide.

Regarding testing, the Massachusetts Department of Fire Services says not to use a lighted match and that the following steps are sufficient:

-- Testing your smoke detectors monthly.

-- Replacing alkaline batteries twice a year, when you change your clocks, even if your detectors are hard-wired.

-- Replacing your smoke detector every 10 years (the sensors wear out) and your carbon monoxide ones every five to seven years.

Q. Would you like to read how I solved a very serious situation: the leaky foundation of our house, particularly after it rains? Our house is on a slope going down from front to back. Water started seeping through a few places in the stone foundation into the basement on the front during heavy rains. Three years ago, I saw puddles against the foundation in the front. Years of raking leaves away from the house had put a depression in the ground. I put earth and compost against the foundation to create a berm.

A. You solved a significant problem with a simple answer. I don't think you made a berm, but rather an apron that diverts rainwater away from the foundation so that it seeps into the ground harmlessly.

Building work on offer in return for donations

Local tradesman Rocky Sutherland will put his handyman services up for grabs at the Kununurra Neighbourhood House Family Disco on Saturday night.

The father and RIBUILD builder has volunteered four hours of his time as the event's door prize.

Every ticket sold goes into a draw, and the winner will receive four hours of service which Mr Sutherland said could be used for "building, maintenance or any other handyman jobs".

The father of one and registered builder said he understood the value of Neighbourhood House and had used the facility when his son, Ewan - now five - was a baby.

The event, held at the Pinctada Kimberley Grande, will raise funds for Kununurra Neighbourhood House to continue running their family programs.

Program co-ordinator Belinda Allister said the non-for-profit had suffered "severe funding changes" at the end of last financial year and proceeds would help the facility to "deliver outstanding service".

Neighbourhood House operates Australia-wide and shines a spotlight on families with children under five, providing parent groups, craft groups, creches and support networks.

The disco will be held from 4-7pm at the Pinctada Kimberley Grande's Kimberley Room.

Entry is free for children under 12 months or $10 per child, $20 per adult or $50 for a family and includes a wood fired pizza dinner.
