This is what this house has: a gas heater, electric ingiter, fan (blower). This is what's happening: Thermostat controls heater system (of course). Natural gas is released, electric igniter lights gas (creates heat), blower is activated, heat is blown though venting system. Then, gas expulsion is stopped (thus ceasing HEAT), and fan continues to blow for...oh...30-45 seconds. When the burners stop making heat, and the fan continues to blow, we get chilly (not cold) air through the venting system, somewhat defeating the purpose of creating heat. (the house does become warmer, by small increments)

I have discovered tonight that the fan's inlet/intake comes from a chimney/stack/ducting leading to the roof, outside...fresh air circulation, NOT recycled air circulation.

My questions:

Shouldn't the air (blower) intake come from inside the area to be heated (creating real warmth) as opposed to getting cold air from outside?

Why was this system built this way?

I am planning to modify the blower induction to be recycled, instead of fresh air. What, if any, danger to my family and the house am i risking?

If i switch to recycled air induction, would I be violating any codes? Why is this code in place? (if this a code issue)

[The heating system is vented, other than having fresh air circulation, and the sheet metal barriers (i forget the proper word at the moment) to the A/C system (which shares the ventilation system with the heating system) are in place.]

Our company starst with a new production line for furniture. We want to produce furniture which is made by the wishes of customers. What do people want and don't get in the furniture stores? Are those small pieces of furniture? Is there a lack of suply of complete interior design ideas? Do people ask for more and express their own wishes or do they just buy the availabile? Do people want custom made furniture?

How to shake the dust of carpets without being covered in it?

I often have to get rid of the dust on a small carpet (about the size of two or three car carpets, used for shoe covering)

Anyways it really annoys me when the dust goes all over my face. Any personal suggestions or experiences with fixing this?

Thanks

I'm not sure about this, but I bought some cinnamon scented pinecones from Wal-mart. Well I was wondering if I would be able to place them in a jar with some oranges-fresh ones, to make a pretty centerpiece?? Would it hurt the oranges, like make them rot? Or would it not make any differene at all????
