Maintenance & Repairs - December 2006

a website to a pdf would suffice! Sure would save on a service call just to light the pilot light correctly without blowing anything or anyone up.

we recently spent $140 to have the furnace man turn on the pilot light. It would not catch./
Well we havent shut it since. Yesterday my sister got hot, and turned it off without knowing,

well I turned it on, we got a pilot light, and heat blowing through a few vents in the home, but not all. it 17 degrees outside, and freezing in my home.
I have 3 small children and I have them bundled. what can I do to get the heat going in the rooms that are not getting it?
Any ideas or suggestions without calling the furnace man?

These things felt great in the store. They started rubbing both my outside ankles right below the bone. Was at a funeral so i couldnt take them off. 4 hours later was left with bleeding blisters on both ankles. Can these boots be repaired somehow. I bought them 400 miles from my home, and they was a little expensive. I wear boots all the time and have never had this happen.

I have a set of salt and pepper cellars that consist of small brass drums with screw tops. Over time the tops have become stuck on, and a greenish corrosion has gathered at the junction. How can i get the tops off and clear away the corrosion?

I have a room that has no vents for GFA. The baseboard heater was professionally installed to the circuit breaker and has a thermostat hooked up. Can I leave for work with this heater on low so it doesn't take three hours to heat the room after work? Is that safe?

There is heat but not sure why it is running constantly like this. Any suggestions? Can't really afford new furnace at this time. Thanks, Mrs Paughco

The pilot light on my gas stove (heating, not cooking) won't stay lit. This only started a couple of days ago. It will relight and stay on until the stove kicks off, then it goes out again. I have read that it may need cleaning, how do I clean it? I want to try that first before I call someone to come look at it. What should I use to clean it?

I have a florescent kitchen light thats connected with the typical white, black and uninsulated copper ground wire. I have a vacation timer i want to hook up to it, but you have to plug whatever you want to be timed into this vacation timer. Is it possible to cut the original wiring cable, and install a 3 pronged plug on the orignal cableso it will plug in and work?

I thought about it and unplugged everything from my house. Then I went to see the WatthourMeter outside my house and the disc was still spinning. What should I do? (other than moving out, since a place to rent here is scarce)

We have a 3 panel shower stall - front, side and back. And they are also sealed to the separate tub on the bottom. We removed all the old sealant yesterday. And I mean all of it!! We dug deep between the panels and pulled it all out. Now we are worried that we shouldn't have done that.

That now it will be hard to get the sealant back in between the panels. Was the original sealant applied as they were installing the three pieces? Rather than after they were up - as we are going to now attempt. Would the better way to have done this would be to only remove the surface of the old sealant and then just reapply over what is left deep in the gap?

Any tips on reapplying this sealant now the have removed it all. Would it be good to apply it in two steps. First step, cut the sealant opening very small and squirt a thin line into the gap, then let it cure. Then apply the top strip over that?

I started smelling and hearing something in my bathroom from the otherside of the house...

I go up and check whats up, there is water everywhere, it's soaking up.. I see water spraying from the back of my toilet...

I layed about 40 towels around the place and now Im freaking out..

I turned off all the water to the house, but I have no idea how to fix this thing?

Any ideas what it could be? And do you think it would require some assistance from an expert?
