I have a gas heater and every time we light the pilot, it lights but then we let go of the pilot button and the pilot goes out. Anybody know why?

What type of hangers should I use to hang a heavy electrical box on the side of my house?
My house is made of stucco, and I would like to hang an electrical breaker box on the side of the house. I'm wondering what kind of hanger i should use. The stucco does not have plywood underneath it.

I have 2 cabinet door panels, that are a hair to big for the door opening. I have already done some hinge adjustments but still to tight. I only need to take off about a 32nd. to a 16th. for a nice fit. I would rather sand that smidge off , but I want it even. Has anyone ever tried to make a backing pad for sanding that will fit on a table saw? If so what kind of material did you use. I was wondering about a 1/4 " x 8" plate made out of that real hard pressboard. Cutting , centering and truing the plate is np problem, but will it take the motor rpm? Need an answer fairly quick, would like to finish this project by next Friday 11-10-06. Thanks.

Never bought one. Wondering what brand works good and has longevity I want it to last. and I don't want to have to fiddle with it and do tons of maintenance to keep it working. Want a bagless and I hear they have beltless now. Any thoughts and opinions. Want an attractive one but I hear the Dyson is powerful.

We're buying a house very soon, and although the carpets should be replaced we dont want to spend that much on a new carpet right now. (carpets are in good condition just have stains and path marks) What I want to know is should we spend the money to have a professional service come in, should we rent a unit from a local company (u-haul has a carpet cleaner rental for $20 a day does anyone have any positive/negitive feedback on going that way) Or should we buy a Hoover SteamVac (they rated the highest in consumer reviews) or another home use model. We have at least 600 square feet to clean and are on a budget, and have two toddlers running around spilling all the time...

I am getting ready to repaint my plane jane white front room. I have a couple of colors in mind but can't decide which technique (ragging, sponging, etc.) to use and which color to put on top. I can't quite visualize it and don't have a lot of money to just by thing to sample. I know I am going to use a light lavender (already have) and have planned on using a metallic silver (don't have yet). I bought a virtual program called virtual painter that I can use a picture of my front room and color the walls and accents but it doesn't let u use more than one color. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm afraid that the silver over the lavender will be to dark but that the lavender over the silver will be to lavender. I have burgundy and tan accents in the room. HELP?

My kitchen faucet takes forever to get hot water. I checked the valve under the sink and it seems to be on. Is it always the valve on the left side? Any other Suggestion?

I'm not extremely profecient at carpentry but would like to build my kids a bunk bed.
All the websites I've tried are intent on selling me bunkbeds for hundreds of dollars.
I'm sure it'll cost much less to just build one. We have the mattresses already.
Thanks.
