10 Years and I still don't know...

[Jerry — MacSolutions]

I'm really shocked that X10 has not thought about a 45 degree angle  
insert to sell for this!

Most of my motion sensors are near the floor now, completely opposite  
of where they started.  Once you have cats, you just never know how  
naughty they're going to be while you're out of the house (and set off  
alarms).  So, I've flipped to using the dogs and cats as triggers for  
a "more lived in" look.  One of the water bowls is in our bedroom and  
the animals migrate back there to drink, I guess because it's quiet  
and by itself.  As they move through the house the lights come on and  
really make the house look like we're home.  Even the basement it's  
lighted periodically during the night because the litterbox is down  
there.

I think I might just go ahead and use the drywall screws as long and  
it doesn't look half-assed once I get it done.  I'd cut the 2x4 as  
suggested but I don't have the proper tools to do this and it would  
look like monkeys tried it.  Velcro is always my first choice but this  
is near the floor and I have a dachshund who is ALWAYS shoving things  
with here nose.  Just setting the sensor where it is now, on the  
floor, or anything that isn't solid and she'll tear it loose.  What a  
goofball...

I just hope the drywall screws will inset enough to allow the  
batteries to be inserted?

Thanks for the ideas!
