Hello...

I am hoping to find out if there is a device that would help me troubleshoot a faulty combination boiler (Vokera Compact 24). The boiler heats up, hits error condition, (red light) cuts out and then fires up again, and so forth. The error condition can last for a number of hours on some occasions before it resets to green. Also problem is intermittent, in that it may result in effectively unusabale hot water and central heating system for 2 weeks and then just work again and then fail again. I can't as yet identify a pattern.

Obviously the error could be any one of the items involved in firing up and maintaining the sequence required to produce hot water in a constant fashion (e.g: gas present? Fan running? Water flow switch? etc...) - someone even suggested there is a spring involved in the gas supply within the boiler that may be faulty hence the cutting out!!???

So, is there a device to connect to the boiler that can help diagnose where the problem lies?

Thanks!

Whilst recently decorating, I was painting my ceiling with my new JML easy roller (available at all good outlets). And what an amazing job it did. However it wasn't till later that evening one of my wives noticed a large drip of green emulsion paint on my turban. I have tried washing it, I have tried meths, thinners, turpentine. I am at my wits end. It is one of my favourite turbans. Please help!!

HI, WAS AWAKE EARLY AND CAUGHT THE INFOMERCIAL ON THE LITTLE GIANT LADDER. CAUGHT MY EYE, AGAIN. WENT ON LINE TO DO SOME RESEARCH, FOUND A COMPARABLE LADDER FROM LOWES CALLED THE WERNER MT-22 LADDER. ANYONE HAVE SOME EXPERT ADVICE ON THIS? I OWN AN 1870 VICTORIAN HOME, WITH HIGH CEILINGS, NOT SURE JUST HOW OFTEN I WILL ACTUALLY USE THIS, BUT SEEMS LIKE THE LOWES VERSION IS MUCH MORE ECONOMICAL. IT ALSO LOOKS LIKE IT HAS MORE EFFECIENT STABILIZER REINFORCED FEET. WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INPUT..THANKS

Hi, we have a Gigantis? Philo, which has outgrown it's area and need to transplant it, can you cut the stem in half and it still grow? and can I save the top half by planting it minus the leaves, too beautiful to lose.
Thanks in advance

Would someone be kind enough to give me opinions on this room setup?

-The walls are white. The ceiling is white and is 3 meters high. about 9 ft
-The floor is light colored ash.
-The curtains are yellowish cream with light color stripes.
-The desk and book case are matching light cherry wood color.
-They are classic styling furniture.
-The door is a very very dark brown (not reddish but more blackish brown) classic shaped door.
-The room has enough room to fit a couch /convertible bed.

The couch I am thinking about getting is a classic styled couch. The problem is the color.

The color I like is a dark brown color with floral accents in various cream and tan color. The brown is not as dark as the door but definetly darker than the book case and the desk.

Would this couch go well with the room mentioned above or are there too many dark elements in the room?

BTW currently there is no rug in the room.

Is this color too dark for a study room?

Difficult transition at wall register would be easy to frame and build with wood. This would be over 20' from the furnace, which is not "really" a furnace but an air handler with a hot water coil in it. No flame associated with it, temps below 160F. Total lenghth of transition about 18". Antique register, odd size to it.

Is their a site that gives an outline or gives a crash course in feng shui?
I was also wondering - Is their a site where I can send a layout of a room, measurements and such, and then the things in the room and get a feng shui "plan-o-gram" type deal on how I should arrange a room?

Other checks;

Any ideas what I should check next?

We are freezing to death, our furnace is under our house and I believe having the fan on would push the cold air up. We use our woodstove for most of the winter and he believes turning the fan on will circulate the woodstove's heat. Is this correct?

So...I'm sort of freaking out because I'm visiting my sister, and I thought it would be a nice thing to do if I washed the dishes. Except...I put the soap you use to wash the dishes by hand in the dishwasher, and I let it run all the way thru before I came back into the kitchen to discover that it had foamed up and oozed all over the kitchen floor. The kitchen floor is clean, but the dishwasher is still full of the soap foam. I have 10 hours before she gets back- Please help me clean it up. (There is no mop, there is no wet/dry vac.)
