Is there a trick to installing it, how does it go on and how do I take the old stuff down? I have yet to take the old stuff down and just thought I'd see what I'm getting myself into first. The old stuff is ratty and I'm trying to sell my home.

The last time I ran my dishwasher it started to smell like something was burning so I turned it off. The smell wasn't present the prior time I ran the dishwasher and there is nothing that I can see that got on the heating element. It looks like everything is "plugged in" and "connected" properly under the access panel (now let's be realistic, I have no idea what I'm looking at, but nothing is hanging loose). I would rather not have to pay a repair man, but I have no idea what to check, or for that matter, what I'm looking for.

Thanks!

Due to damp a large chunk of the ceiling on the stairway has fallen away, and more seems to fall daily, the halls office don't seem to care and I don't want it spreading to my room as it drips.

We have two rheem heat pumps installed in 2002. A couple months ago, one of the compressors has to be replaced and we had a specialist replaced it for us. Last week, when we turned on the heat and set the temperature to 70. The heating system won't stop even through the room temperature had reached 75. We had the same person that replaced our compressor to check on the problem, and the solution he gave us was to change the thermostat. We purchased a new thermostat and had it replaced. The next day, our heat pump still won't stop running and we had the same technician check on it again. The solution was still the same, something wrong with the thermostat and we have to buy another one. Can someone tell us what could be causing this?

I built a smoker. It is 3 x 3 inside. well insulated. i put one electric hotplate burner inside and I can bring the temperature up to 145°. I need the temperature to reach 200° for my jerky. The question is this...... Will a second burner like the first raise the temperature more or not. I personnally feel two will still only heat to the 145° mark.

I was told it could take 24 hours- but I have to use the item in 7 hours. Is there an alternative? (not superglue please it isn't strong enough). How about the 5 minute epoxy? Is that almost as strong as gorilla glue?
