something wrong with the dryer motor? How come a blow dryer doesnt have leakage current? How come a washing machine doesn't trip a GFCI receptacle? It has a leakage current too?

I am wanting to install a wood stove into a house me and my wife have. The walls are concrete walls and I was wondering about burning wood in it. The wood stove is a cast iron free standing wood stove from www.harborfreighttools.com I have a free supply of wood pallets..that I could cut up and burn. Do you think there is any problem using that type of wood to burn. I would keep the the flue cleaned out. Where would I buy the stove pipe to install it at? Also what is the best and easiest way to cut a 6" hole thro a concrete block wall? and tips or suggestions? I am trying to keep our home warm on a budget..

I know I can wash it with hot water and then dry it in a dryer, but will be safe: it's a 100% cotton undershirt which I painted with paint pens. I want to make it smaller, but will that risk having the paint run?? If the paint runs, not only will I need a new dryer, I will lose a very personally important shirt, and I don't want to do that!

Please help if you can!

and runs back up the leak stream to the bathtup that I am standing in. Will I be killed or will the breaker trip before I die? Will a GFCI breaker solve this problem?

i got this new looking beer fridge and it wont refridgerate properly.
i had it unplugged for a few hours, before plugging it in. i turned the temp to max and i could hear the compressor turn on. the next morning i went to check it out and it was room temperature.
all of the mechanical components (hoses, compressor, etc) look like they are in working condition. Could it be a timer?

My wife and I want to redo our bathroom countertop the current countertop is a one piece countertop that includes the sink and 5" backsplash. This is a condo unit that some manufacture custom built 200 of these to go in every unit. Anyway, we are going to drop bowl out of the countertop with a grinder and then we planned on putting mastic or thinset directly on the one piece ceramic counterop and then grouting the tile. Does anyone have any input on whether the mastic will stick to the ceramic??
Thanks,

If the dryer was grounded, and the breaker noticed a direct short to ground, it would trip almost immediately, right? So the question is that if it wasn't a direct 0 ohm short, but instead a human body, that would be like 1 million ohms to ground right? So would that body have to get like 30 amps through that body to trip the breaker on a non GFCI situation?

I recently priced a 30 Amp Cutler Hammer GFCI breaker for my dryer and it runs about $250! Is there a device that I could mount in a juntion box that would do the trick for much less?

A kitchen cabinet fell off but not at the hinges.There is still a bit of wood with a space in the middle for the rest of the cabinet to fit into.
What has to be done to fix this and who do I hire to fix this?
Any idea of the cost ?

the edges are wavy lines and the field in swirled. Appears to be done originally with a mixture of paint and dry wall mud. anyone know what to use to do it? a brush or a very long nap roller?
