my propane furnace wont light. I tested the ignitor and it doesnt seem to have an open in the circuit but before i removed it i tested the voltage going to it. the box feeding power to the ignitor says it is a 24v ignitor but only putting out 15v to the ignitor. I searched the internet for the igniter and cant find a source for united technologies electronic controls. i dont know if it is a smart valve. The valve is a G ROBERTSHAW-GRAYSON.any help would be greatly appreciated

I'm so scared to go in there so I sent the cat to find it and the reason I know there is one in there I heard it go over my dresser to the other side of if with all my stuffies and I'm about to call a mouse finder and have them de-mouse my condo. I'm going to loose my mind over this and the cat is going nuts cause there's one in the bedroom and one or more in the kitchen.

My existing light weight aluminum window grill is bronzy in colour and I want to paint it glossy white. I am looking through the nippon paint catalogue, would like to know what sort of paint can I get to paint it on my window grill? Not those metal stell grill, its those "hollowish" light weight aluminium quality grills.

My worries is whether can it be painted? cos Im afraid of the smoothness after i paint it when I try to slide it.

If you guys stil nto sure what kind of windows im talking about, do refer to the pics in the link attached bottom.

When I use my shower, air bubbles and a gurgling sound occur at my toilet bowl in the bathroom. When the toilet is flushed the same noises are heard coming from the bathroom drain! Also the same noises can be heard from the kitchen sink drain and the other bathroom at the opposite end of my house. Is this a clog or a blocked vent or what?

all dirty and worn-out before renting the unit out again in Phoenix, Arizona?? Is it that the people here just don't care much about these things or don't think that they are important?? Why is that?? Are their standards that low?

We want to knock down the garage to make the garden bigger. We'd still have room for off street parking but do you think it would be a mistake to lose the garage Do buyers want garages these days?

I saw a few at the homedepot.com, but it doesn`t give much information on artificial trees. I need to be able to pack it up and store it away, and getting a real tree every single year seems like a waste of money. I have a small apartment, so please give good answers, I`m in need of help for the holidays!

Previous owners left a ton of these and using vinegar + baking soda paste and Barkeeper's Friend hasn't helped lift the stains. Is there a way to bleach them out or cover them up? The vanity is white.

I have a large stain on my cieling, and it won't come off. I have already tried Mr. Clean's Magic eraser and wet paper towels, and while they helped diminish it a bit, the stain is still visible. My mother suggested painting it. How would I paint just one particular patch without making it stand out? Does this mean I'll have to do my entire cieling. If so, what type of paints should I use?

I planted these bulbs in October 2006. After a recent brief warm spell (60 degrees) the bulbs have sprouted. I am concerned that the bulbs will not sprout and consequently bloom when I expect them to bloom in April 2007. Please advise.

My dining room table is cherry with beveled glass inserts in two large pieces. I have a tiny chink out of the one side. Is there any way to repair it or do I have to bite the bullet and spend several hundred dollars to get two new pieces? The glass place cannot make just one, they say. They won't match.
