I am not quite sure what z strips are and where I can buy them. All I know is they are to be placed behind the outside molding of my window to prevent leaks.

I've decided to install a second hand back boiler I have acquired in my open fire. As I bought it 2nd hand I have no documentation with it. I will plumb it into my existing central heating along with a pump and a 3 way valve to switch it in and out of circuit by means of a themostat. I am aware that I will need to vent off some heat so have decided to install 2 old radiators in the loft in series as it gets very cold up there in the winter. I am not sure of the amount of BTUs the back boiler will produce so I can only guess on how mant radiators to put in the loft to vent off excess heat.....It is an 18" wrap around back boiler I have.....I Live in Scotland....Can anyone advise me ?

I have a house. Every thing works find but the ACs blow fuses. I need circuits for the AC's I have the expansion space in the fuse box. But people seem to now work on them. However, I was told that having one wasn't against code. The service is 100 AMPs which right now is okay. I'd rather not liquidate my savings to up grade to 200 AMP service, just to get dedicated AC outlets.

Thanks guys for the response. Maybe I didn't make the question very clear. I have baught a dishwasher. I have one incoming water pipe. I want to connect both my d/w and washing machine. They both have an element, so hot water is not needed. I want to use one pipe to fit two hoses. Do you get a "T" type connector? and what should I ask for when buying?

I had a mouse problem in my garage, getting into my grass seed, taring up my golf bag, it has been going on for months. So I set up some mouse traps and killed about 6 of them the first day and reset the traps. The second day I went in to check the traps and all empty, then suddenly my gas tank blew up and a 50lb. bag of salt was dropped on my head!!! WTF!!! I called pest control but they just laughed at me. What should I do?
