Liftoff Guy and I woke up this morning to the sound of a high-pitched screech. After some fumbling around looking at our alarm clocks and being confused why they'd make such a sound, we were able to pinpoint it to our carbon monoxide alarm. Oh joy.
This led to me throwing Liftoff Cat out into the cold rain and throwing some windows open, while LG tried to get me to close the windows to see if the alarm would sound again. So we closed the windows and waited and as soon as the furnace went on again, so did the alarm. This time, I insisted on keeping the windows open and we shut down the furnace. LG called a furnace repair company and we were both very happy to have our little gas-powered mini-fireplace in the living room to provide heat without turning on the furnace.
The furnace guy is here now doing a furnace inspection. He tested our levels with his level-testing thingie and they were about 27 with the furnace running. This number is within safe limits, but problematic because it's not clear where it's coming from. What's also surprising is that wall unit alarms usually don't go off unless the level is 50-70. So we don't know if the level was higher than that or if we have a particularly sensitive alarm or what. But it's no fun with a 6 pound cat in the house and a half-pound baby in utero. Hopefully we'll be able to get this taken care of quickly.
