I bought a MYSON 228 spring return actuator valve. There are 5 wires from the valve, Brown and blue go to the thermostat, but 3 remaining wires, Grey, White (both switch lives ) and an orange ( common) is whats confusing me. I have switch for the heat on the wall, which switches 3 ways, Timed, Off and Constant. How do I wire those 3 remaining wires to that switch for the heat ?

I have a micowave/convection oven, and the inside is made of stainless steel. No matter how careful I am to cover anything I cook, I still have brown stains, especially in the back near the fan. Does anyone have a foolpoof method to remove these stains?

Have been looking for some portable sink solutions, but they are either extremely ugly (plastic and designed for backyards), or extravagant (2.7k+). I'd prefer to avoid having to use a plastic tub or something...

I found a really nice black and white drawing and i thought it could look nice on my wall, but directly on it. I'm sick of sticking papers on my wall i want something that looks clear, perfect. I like painting and if i train a bit on a scrap before going on to the wall im sure i could manage (with the outlines in pencil). But theres just one problem...my parents don't want me, cause then when i won't want it anymore i will have to paint my room again. But i really like it and i'm sure i will like it after a year or two so how can i persuade them ??
ps: if i dont like it anymore ill just have to stick a poster on it huh ??

Despite tons of searching, I am not getting clear instructions on what I consider to be some very basic questions on how to lay tile on a wood subfloor. We have wood subfloors, with particle board on top of that and real wood floors. I know the wood flooring and particle board has to come up, so we are down to bare subfloor. Then what?
1) What is the best way to level the subfloor? Our floor is not even ( slopes a bit) and the 7.5" wood floor that is down now is VERY forgiving and we know tile is not.
2) If we use cement backer board, is that okay? The best?
3) If so,must it have expansion gaps like our wood plywood underlay did, or do you butt it together? If not do we tape these joints?
If you have laid ceramic tile on a less than perfect wood subfloor, what materials did you use and detailed steps in preparing your floor right up until you laid the tile would be helpful and much appreciated!

I've had my plant for a few weeks now and I have been trying to keep it alive. I don't quite understand what filtered light means. I've kept it in my office, so it doesn't receive direct light just florescent light. The actual flower don't seem like they're sucking up the water. They almost feel brittle and the shoot that come out of it looks weak. I'm not too familiar with the terms but they look like shoots of pollen.. but they dry up within a day and look ugly. What's going on. I water it one a week and the cups are usually half-full with water.

I know the dangers of teflon for human health. So I am wondering if anyone can recommend an alternative option for saucepan?
and if you can provide the brand name it's even better

The Bryant has six wires, 1 of them is for power, my new one takes batteries...

The six Bryant wires are:
White
Orange
Green
Cyan
Yellow
Red

There are 5 ports on my new thermostat:
Rh
Rc
White
Yellow
Green

The white, yellow, green are easy, but I cannot figure out where the following wires go on my new thermostat: Orange, Red, Cyan.. one of them must be for power, which I don't need. Another question... Could I electrical tape the wire for the power, since I wont need it, what which one is the power wire?

Changing some baseboards in my house and currently have electric baseboard heat. I saw these electric hyrdonic baseboard heaters at Home Depot. Will these just wire up or do I need a water line or anything else? It says that the heating element is immersed in a liquid to radiate the heat better. Thanks
