Automatic Fire Sprinklers
Every responsible homeowner has smoke detectors, but few wonder if this is really enough. It is true, that a house using a well-maintained smoke detector in every room is likely to detect a fire in its early stages, which greatly increases the chances of escaping safely, but for me, I want the best possible protection for my family. I had never realize that there was more to fire prevention than smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and of course a house that is up to building codes until I began my job working in a warehouse. It was only then that I noticed something that every industrial building has, but few homes do - something that can ultimately mean the difference between life and death in a fire. That something is, of course, automatic fire sprinklers.
Automatic fire sprinklers have been standard equipment in many factories, warehouses, and even in office buildings for many years, but have never quite made a complete foray into the consumer market. This is a shame, as they are such a logical extension of the smoke detector. The way that automatic fire sprinklers work is very simple. When heavy smoke is detected in a room, it sets off the sprinklers in the ceiling. These rain down a substantial amount of water - enough to quench a fire in its beginning stages, or to slow one that is more advanced.
Of course, automatic fire sprinklers do have their drawbacks which make them sort of problematic for a household environment. Having that much water raining down in a room can really put a damper on your day, so to speak. Carpets, books, clothing, and even walls can be ruined, and mildew growth can be stimulated by thoroughly soaking a room. This means that automatic fire sprinklers are not a good idea for the kitchen or adjoining rooms.
Of course, in the environment where automatic fire sprinklers are traditionally used, this is not a problem at all. Smoke in a kitchen might just mean a minor cooking accident, but smoke in a warehouse almost always spells trouble. The same goes for an office building, or a factory. In the den, the bedrooms, and many hallways, however, automatic fire sprinklers just make sense. Although they are expensive, and do not absolutely eliminate the chance of fire, a good automatic fire sprinklers system is, in my opinion worth it because it does make my family somewhat safer.
Auto Pet Feeders
auto pet feeders
I like inventions that do things while you aren't looking. I remember the awe I felt when I saw a self cleaning cat box for the first time. It can't take the litter to the garbage, but it does take some of the work, and the smell, out of the task. There are many things in this world now that can be set for a task and these make lives easier. One thing I really want to get is one of the auto pet feeders I saw in the store. However, they do scare me a little bit.
I go away a lot, and there are times when I need to find someone to feed my cats while I am gone. This is not always easy, and there were times I had to take them from their home to stay with someone because I couldn't find a sitter nearby. This is hard on my cats, and one of them has seizures. That means vehicle travel is not recommended. There are times when I have no choice though. I would think that auto pet feeders would be the answer to this, but I do have some reservations about them. What if they stop working while I am away?
I have visions of my cats pawing away at the auto pet feeders trying to get food because they stopped working, and I would never know it. It's not like I can call them on the phone to be sure they are okay. Granted, I would not use these for more than two days at a time without supervision, as someone would need to care for the litter box, but all the same, it would be nice to know that if there were some emergency and I could not be here that they would still be fed. How much can you count on a machine like that though? I'm not really sure.
I guess I should look into the auto pet feeders more before I decide if I want to buy them or not. If they run on electricity, they might not be the best idea. Though my electric rarely goes out due to storm activity, it would be my luck that it would the few days I chose to be away from home. Though there are many bad things that would happen if the electric went out, my pets starving would be the worst. They may have a battery back up, and if they do, that might be the best way to go.
