  • A similar suggestion to the other poster:

    Try relocating one of the troublesome units to someplace nearby but not mounted to the ceiling. The top of a bedroom dresser, the floor, a bathroom countertop, the top step of the stairs, halfway down the stairs, hanging from a wall (picture hook)… just get creative.

    And since you haven’t mentioned it, I presume these are all smoke detectors? Do you have any heat detectors or carbon monoxide detectors installed?

    Dunno about “usually”. Our last house was fairly nice, but didn’t have this sink feature. That said, you could walk around and see where the builder went for the cheapest option available.

    That said, this kitchen sink feature should literally be the absolute minimum for consideration.


  • It really comes down to apps.

    The only flag you mentioned that caught my attention was Word and Word templates. I’ve not tried Word templates.

    I figure your options are either Libre Office or something cloud based, eg, Google Docs.

    One thing you could try is to set up a VM or boot a live CD (USB) and try on the things that most concern you.









  • A residence floormate I knew back in university also worked as a bartender at a hotel.

    His one story relevant to this thread is he once poured a drink for a customer over ice without measuring it. Think scotch or whiskey. Customer said there’s no way that’s an ounce. They argued for a bit; my friend poured everything from the glass into a shot glass minus the ice, and it was exactly on the line. End of argument.

    He admitted to me that some of that may have been water from the melted ice.
