They're powerful, loud and have big teeth. I need to cut wood for floor molding and I'm scared of that piece of equipment. If I could get over this problem the job would be so quick. Any advice and safety tips would be greatly appreciated!

My central heating oil boiler keeps cutting out. It is a Myson Volaire Pressure Jet 50/70. The system was drained when new radiators were fitted, with new pipe routing in some cases. The boiler fired up fine but only ran for a few minutes before cutting out and initially only heated the pipes upto to the upstairs cupboard where the flow and return pipes start to go off to the radiators. I have bled the radiators and after waiting 10 - 15 mins fired the boiler again only for it to cut off again. The pipes are heating up further along the flow on each occasion I go through this process but the radiators no longer release any air when bled. The boiler runs for approximately 4minutes each time now. Also there is a thermostat ranging from -15 to +10 (never seen that type before). what should the setting be? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I want to keep a Colorado Blue Spruce that is next to our driveway, but it is making it impossible to get into our car. Can I cut off the bottom 1/4 or 1/3 of its branches, or will that damage it too much?

I'm just curious because I know you do have to be EPA certified to use refrigerant, so how does that work with students at a HVAC class in college studying to be hvac techs.

I want a "non-chemical" or natural approach if at all possible. The little leaves of my plants are being eaten at quite a rapid rate - just noticed in the past 2 days - have picked off about 20 of them so far.

If you do; does it run over ceramic tiles. I'm wondering if it would possible to run the crown molding across the tiles if the tiles did go right up to the ceiling. Would you suggest it? I'm just thinking of a way to cover an untidy wall.

whenever i flush the toilet, i have to hold or push down the toilet handle a certain way for the toilet to flush down all the water inside the toilet tank, or the thing inside the toilet tank will go back down and close the flow of water to exit the drain too quickly.
