In checking the coil/magnito there is continuity between the kill wire attached to the coil/magnito and the case without the kill switch being in the "off" position. Does this mean the coil/magnito is bad?

We have an oil furnace in our house (2200 sq ft). We recently got a new thermostat and it says that the heater sometimes is running for 8 hours in a 24 hour period. Also, our oil bill has been very high the past two years. We keep the thermostat at 56 at night and 63 in the daytime, only putting it to 70 for a few hours in the early evening. We live in PA, it's been a pretty mild winter. Is this normal?

Does anyone know of anything that could be attached to the top of a 4-ft. chain-link fence (including the gate) that would prevent a dog from being able to climb or jump over it? I was thinking maybe something that would bend inwards, but don't know what would do that. Thanks for your help.

I'm making a bridge for my physics class, and I need to know the best glue to use on my bridge. I have gorilla glue and elmer's wood glue, as well. My bridge is Bass Wood, and it will be about a foot long. It will be tested for strength up to holding about 70kg of mass... or until it breaks. I would really like opinions!

As aforementioned, I recently acquired a installable pull-up bar, the kind where you drill holes in the wall to install the mounts for the bar itself. The walls are sheetrock behind the usual plaster, with a stud every few inches. The capacity of the bar, according to the box, is 350 pounds. My question is this: Will the walls be able to suppport 150-300 pounds of stress from the mounts without tearing or other such deformities?

The resurface I've seen came off after awhile. Maybe that has changed since the big tub resurfacing boom several years ago. I hope so. We do not want to replace ours. It would be a very big job to get it out of our bathroom. The bath itself is in a cubby hole surely built after and around the tub.

I am redoing my bathroom, and want to put sea glass on an area of the wall in front of my tub (appx 18"x60"). Just random pieces, no mosaics or patterns. It will be going onto just plain drywall. Is there a special base that I need to use to "stick" it into or do I glue and then grout it? Can I even put it on drywall? Someone suggested it might get too heavy and tear the drywall.

In the spring time we are going to be building a fence all around the 40 acres we live on. But we don't know what kind this is called. It's like a rail- and -post, but it's not. Can somebody help me get a picture of it? It's like a post and rail, but it's a bit different. A picture of a post and 2 rails is like it, but you have to add a rail under the first and last rail. Sorry that is doesn't make sence. But can you find something like it? Thanks.

About a week ago my little sister spilled nailpolish all over her wooden table. We tried acetone and nailpolish remover and it still won't come off. We tried telling my mom that but she is still trying to get me to get it off.

Any another ideas to getting it off or is it just not possible?

I have granite countertops that are black with a salmon pink marble look to it. Currently my tile backsplash is a light green, which doesn't match at all. I'm not sure what color to go with.

My walls are painted a khaki color and the cabinets are a very light wood.
