... put knife blades and fork tines facing upwards or down? I have no manual for mine, and this is an ongoing battle with my bf. Can you support this with a link, please so I can prove I am right in thinking you load them facing up, so I can end this once and for all with my very pedantic man?

A friend of mine has a whirpool tub & sometimes the pump will cut in & run even when the tub is not in use. It will stay running until you turn it off with the switch.Is there someone who has had a similar problem that might know how to fix it.

I am considering purchasing a 1200 watt (max) 10A generator. They are reasonably priced right now. I would think that it should power my furnace in case of a power outage. My furnace is 6 years old. It is a mid-efficiency type with a 4 position blower fan. It is connected to an electronic programmable thermostat. It seems to me if I disconnect it from the house wiring and divert it to the generator, everything should work including the blower fan, gas valve and thermostat. I would think that 1000 watts continuous would be adequate. Do you agree? Is there anything else I should know?

I've got three old MasterLocks i found and i can't figure out the combinations on them..it would be cheaper to buy new ones rather than to send them in to be figured out and i've used my stethoscope but haven't had any luck..if anyone knows of how to figure this out i would appreicate it, especially if i don't have to start the dialer at 0-0-0 and work my way up...

I am concern of premature motor wear but does this save electrical cost as
perhaps causes the system not to turn on as much as the circulation of heat allows improved heat distribution.

could you give a percentage of cost savings if the fan is on constant?

To save water i reuse water from the home (washing veggies etc.) to water the garden, my problem is the tree i try to water is on a bit of a slope and when i pour the water to water it the water flows down hill and not much of it ends up in the garden.

Any ideas to make water absorption better because in Australia water evaporates so quickly.

Thanks

One of my neighbors owns a leaf blower that has a two-stroke engine. Therefore, when he uses the blower, it makes this high-pitch whine sound. I was told that four-stroke engines do not make high-pitch sounds that two-stroke engines make. I was wondering what process in a two-stroke engine causes the engine to make the high-pitch sound.
