[Steppes] Looking for an Electrician

[mikaelc]

	I had the same problem with the smoke alarm at the top of my stairs.
Turns out, it wasn't the electricity - it was the cricket that had crawled
inside the unit and was shorting out part of the sensor. An accumulation of
dust sometimes causes it to go off sporadically. Usually when it happens, I
pull the unit down, shake it vigorously, and blow out the dust. Hat fixes it
until the next critter crawls in .....

Last night the fire alarm gave a short, sharp BEEP around 2:20.  And at
around 2:40.  And then again.  And then again.  No fire, no heat, no smoke,
just a loud wake-up every few minutes.  We eventually turned off the fuse
it's on, eliminating lights in the bathroom, hall and bedroom, and stopping
power to my alarm clock.  I found my cell phone and set it for a half-hour
later than usual, and tried to sleep.  The original, unpowered alarm clock
went off at the usual time anyway.

Anyone in the barony have an electrician they trust?
