Is there a standard or general rule of thumb for the spacing of recessed lights? My room is 10x20, and has a ceiling fan with light directly in the center of the room. I'm keeping the fan and light. I'd like to add recessed lights but need to know -
1) How many should I install?
2) How far apart from each other should they be?
3) How far from the wall should they be?
4) What size dia. & wattage should I use?

We light the gas pilot light and it will not stay lit for very long.
The water heater is next to the furnace so we thought possible it was a draft from the furnace pulling air in so we placed a small peice of paneling between them but will allow free airflow to the furnace. WE have had no luck in solving this problem?
Is it dangerous to keep trying to lite it or keep the pilot lite on if it will not fire up? We don't smell gas or anything.

My old refrigerator's freezer broke and now the replacement that the maintenance people brought constantly runs all day long. There is a low level hum that my old refrigerator did not have.

When I have the Heater on, it works well for a while but then it seems that when the desired temperature is reached, the unit starts blowing cold air only? It's as if something is not shutting off the fan even though the heating mechanism has shut off already. Any Ideas??
Thanks Much

I've read it could be demagnetised, we did keep little speakers underneath it - could they be the problem?
All the colours are messed up, there are greens, oranges, and purples......the sound is fine though and there are no lines, does anyone know what the problem could be?

I took the WC off the pipe, and then put some poison in the soil pipe. That was over a week ago, they are still to be heard running up and down the soil pipe! Its doing my head in. Should I get a company in to sort it? I dont know what else they could do that I havent done. Cheers for any advice
