I have just bought a 24 volt cordless drill for 83 usd and it seems to work great.

But I'd like to know why a drill with the same features in another brands like Milwaukee or Dewalt are far more expensive.

Doing this, I need to derate my conductor amps by .91 (temp adj) x.7 (7 conductors in same raceway, not including grounds) or .637 total. All wire is THHN.
If any objections, please state your source; eg. NEC Code.

I have a Magic Chef gas oven (model no. 8113P560-60R) in my apartment. The pilot light won't stay on for more than a day or two. Only one or two burners will light. The oven flame is intermittent as well.

This is becoming aggravating.

On the back of the limit switch are the following numbers:

L160-4.0 R8V

What do these numbers mean? The schematics for my electric furnace list the limit switch as 160°.

I spilled about a quarter cup of liquid onto one of my burners, now none of them will start. I know its best to call a repair tech but its Christmas eve. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I've tried to dry it out as much as I can.

i was using the microwave,and the power dimmed and then shut off the power to the front of my kitchen(1-plug outlet and 1-light fixure)and the rear of my living room(2-plug outlets) the walls are almost back to back besides a stairway to the upstairs that seperate the two walls. no fuse was blown! i reset all the fuses in the fuse box(switched them off and then back on. normaly when something like that happens it would blow a fuse. what could this be and cause this to happen. its xmas and all my funds are spent and cant afford a elec. at the moment. also is it safe or could there be a wire behind the wall burning or popping ready to start a fire? but if that was the case it would of blown a fuse. im lost cant figure out what it could be and scared to go to sleep just in case something does happen and need to get the family out. i hope theres a electrican on that could give me a few pointers on what it may be. thanks

Whenever I buy a new shirt, I don't wash before use and just jump straight into it. Is this bad? I know the tag tells you to wash separately first because it can have dyes that come off. But I don't even bother, just too lazy. Will not washing it cause body acne?

...and I don't know much about it. I want one that is already bearing fruit and I'm willing to pay someone to come out and plant it. What is the best time of the year to do this and how much (estimate) would it cost roughly for the fruit bearing tree its self and then for someone to come and dig the ground and plant it? I live in Ohio btw. Thanks!

If you have glass doors and screens in front of your fireplace, do you have to leave the glass ones open when you burn a log?

We accidentally received exterior paint instead of interior for our dining room and kitchen. We didn't notice it until it was already painted. I know exterior painting is harmful to our health so I need to know how to fix it. Can we just paint over it or do we need to tear down the walls and put new sheet rock on there and start painting all over again. Please help!! I think its making my parents sick.

Or do you have to be a complete idiot for that to happen? My air purifier broke twice and an electrician told us someone wired the outlet that way.
