I have a rheem heating and air unit and it stopped working about a week ago. My dad has changed the relay switch and has tested voltage on almost everything else you can test and we still can not get the unit working. Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be wrong.

I dont know how old it is, it was in place when we moved in 5 years ago, I cant seem to get any hot water out of it - ive just had a cold shower which is not nice, and one of the lights says 'overheating'.

It cant be overheating, ive not used it all day. It said this as soon as I turned it on.

Does it simply need replacing or should I get a man in to look at it?

My friend's mother has a beautiful older home in Mississippi that I feel in love with. Would I need permission from the homeowner? If permission is granted, what is the process? Do I need to contact an architect, contractor, etc?

Last night the lights went out in the bathroom, back bedroom, and hallway only but the rest of the house still had power. When my husband came home he flipped the switches on the breaker box and the power came back on in those rooms. He also detected a smell like fish coming from the breaker box. This morning the same thing happened. Thank God, I was already for work when the lights started to flicker in the bathroom really badly and then went out. Can anyone tell me what this could mean or what we could do to fix it?

we just bought a house and the peaple who were liveing there were pigs. we didnt even get 5 feet into the house and my husband asked if i was getting bit. we looked around and we had fleas all over us. none were bighting me but he was so bit up he looked like he had the chicken pox. we have had a professional out there and he said he has never seen a infestation like the house. the house was sprayed but the fleas come back in one week. we then went to the vet and got 4 boms that cost 12 bucks a piece. this worked for about 4 days. we have a farm house. my husband has gone as far as to cut the grass so short that i think that it will die. can some one please help me. we have a 2 year old daughter that is just as allergic as her father. i dont want to take her to the house unless it is clean. i wish i could finde the people who trashed the hous and pay them back. they realy screwed the friend that we bought the house from.

They made a lotta songs, in the short time they had together. But by the way, would you happen to know if they have a compilation collection of all their songs? I've looked in Tower Records site, and at ebay, at the time they didn't have any. I know there was a limited run, will there be another in the future?
