I have a continuous flash indicating "low flame / gas valve relay sensor"
I have changed the heat limit sensor / flame sensor/ circuit board. I have tested the pressure switch (it appears to be normal)
Stat calls for heat...the exhaust fan starts up, then the ignitor coil fires up, then the gas flows (with a slight high pitched whislte like sound), burners fire normal...flame is balanced and ful, drum fan kicks in. After a couple of minutes the gas shuts down. The drum fan continues and after a minute or two the gas fires back up again. Then it shuts down again and then the furnace turns off. Immediately it starts back up again. All this while the room temp is still 3-4 degrees below what the stat is calling for. Thanks for any help.
Mark

Is there an easy way to get creases out of shirts, or a household “trick” to make it easier? One of my shirts was tumbled dryed by mistake and is now a crinkly mess! There still seems to be the odd persistent crease no matter how much I iron it…
Is there anything I can do? Thank you!

Who do you get for advice whether to demolish or renovate. The down side is the house probably needs the foundations 'pinned'. The house was built in the 60's and is double brick with quite a few cracks.

I have a combi boiler so usually we have hot water whenever we want it. Recently the radiators haven't been heating up very much and the water goes hot for a few seconds then freezing for a while then hot for a few seconds etc etc. Has anyone ANY idea what this could be?

Thanks

I'm going to be decorating the dining room and kitchen this weekend, and can't decide what colour scheme would go best.

Would 2 different colours in the same room look odd, or should I stick to just one colour?

Were getting ready to buy a new home, and while we do have money to spend on fix ups, I don't really want to spend it all on fix ups. I was wondering about how much does it cost to put in Hard Wood Floors in a average room, say 15' x 15'. If we do it ourselves? And about how long does it take?

In Hong Kong, if you want to hire a contractor to renovate your property, you have got to draw up a mutual agreement to protect both interests. From what I have seen in the reality show; The Apprentice (can't remember which season) there was one part where Donald Trump assigned the groups an empty hse each and had them hired a contractor... but the contractor didn't deliver as promised. Is drawing up such mutual agreement a feasible idea? because from what I observe, especially in my country (M'sia) ppl hire contractor based on trust, that means I trust you to carry the work in utmost good faith, and when the job is done, I will pay you. As happened to my cousin when she bought a new hse years ago, the contractor actually threatened her for more money, otherwise he would do something nasty to her hse. Not jz that, the work completed wasn't up to std and she had to hire another contractor to carry on the work. So i wonder has anybody experience such thing b4, and how do u solve that?

I have recently gotten hold of some good pieces of timber that are ideal for use as shelves, they are 1"(h) X 14"(d) X 36"(w).
I would like to make some storage shelves to go in my utility room. The unit would have to be free-standing and would ideally have 5 or 6 shelves with the highest shelf at about 6'-6.5' tall.
Does anyone know of a website that would have basic designs for this kind of furniture?
It seems a shame to have to buy shelving when i have perfectly good wood here at home already. I would need to buy the upright struts and fixings.
Thanks for your time :-)

We know some wall ties have gone but have had major movement going on. Cracks have appeared around windows and up walls. Driveway is sinking and cracking very badly and I have now been advised to have my drains looked at. Could they have caused all this damage and where would I stand with my building insurance if it is proven that this is the cause of all our problems. So far we have been quoted around the 25,000 mark to put right all the damage so we are not talking just a little bit of work.

I have a large wall in a loft where it continues on the first and second floor and part is a really tall wall. I'd like to go ahead and paint the accessible parts and then hire a professional to paint the tall part of the ceiling.

If I paint my sections and they dry, will there be a noticeable seam or color difference when the contractor paints the taller area that ajoins my sections? I'm assuing for this that it would all come from a single large batch of paint.
