Maintenance & Repairs - November 2006

My range is 5 years old. It is a Frigidaire electric, ceramic top, drop in model. My husband installed a new microwave above the stove a couple of days ago. We soon noticed that the clock on the stove was not working, oven light, in fact, nothing was working. I turned on the burner and the clock came on and also the oven light then worked. The burners and oven did not. Turned off the burner knob, back to no power.
My husband probably hit a wire when looking for a stud for the microwave. I called an appliance repairman and he did not know how to take the stove out and was afraid of damaging the cabinets.
I know the stove sits on the counter and also has a anti tip device either on the sides or in the back. I need to know how to remove the stove &/or who to call first. Should I call a authorized dealer to remove the stove and check the power and then an electrician if needed? Should we try and remove the stove ourselves and call an electrician? Guidance & wisdom would help

I need to build a wooden observation tower so that buyers of my condominiums can see the view they will have from their first floor and second floor balconies. The tower therefore needs to have two platforms, one at first floor level (5 feet above the ground) and one at second floor level (15 feet above the ground). Can someone tell me how large each platform needs to be, and approximately how much this tower would cost to build? If you need to view the site, please go to my 360 page and see my primary photo. Thank you!

I went to Home Depot to buy an insulating blanket for my hot water heater. My local store doesn't carry them. The sales person told me that if there's a water heater fire, and you're using a water heater blanket, most insurance companies won't provide coverage for the damage. I would have thought that manufacturers would be smart enough to make them out of fire-resistant materials. I couldn't find anything in my HO policy about this issue, but I may have missed something in the fine print.

I am renting a house and recently I have noticed there are bats living inside the walls of the laundry room which is off the carport, weve seen them a few times but I can hear them every time I go out there and the worse problem is the awful disgusting smell of urine that is taking over the entire laundry room, and now I have started smelling that same smell in our bathroom which is closest to the laundry room, my husband is going to talk to the landlords this weekend about it, but my question is has anyone else ever had this kind of a problem? do exterminators take care of bats, and also will they do something to get rid of the smell as well? thanks alot.

How do I get rid of a Lutron GRAFIKEye lighting panel?

It's basically a bunch of dimmers with different zones and modes, and little timers on it so that lights go on or off slowly when you select a different mode.

It was used when our office was a shop. It controls some 240V spots and some LV spots as well.

Question is, if I pull it off the wall, will I find a mess of electronic spaghetti behind it extending way into the walls, or is it really just a glorified dimmer switch that I can replace with a bunch of boring old switches?

Reason for wanting rid of it: energy saver bulbs can't use dimmers, and you can't bypass the dimmers on this thing.

Edinburgh, since you ask.

Thanks!!

I'm an engineer and the price that they're asking is madness. Any advice would be helpful as I would like to undertake the work myself. I'm aware that it will take quite a bit of effort which I don't mind.

The coating on my enamel bath is worn and discoloured. I want to try and avoid replacing the bath as this will probably mean re-tiling and I'm not in a position to re-do the whole bathroom. I'll do this in the future but for now I was considering using that stuff that you paint on. Have any of you used it and if so - what did you think of it? Any tips and oh - where do you get it from?

Thanks
