Mounting things to the ceiling

[Don Bradner]

Carbon Monoxide is actually *lighter* than air by a very tiny amount (specific
gravity 0.9667 compared to air 1.0), but that probably is not enough to matter.
The reason for mounting high is that it is most likely to be from a source of
combustion, hence warm, and rising.
