so, i was cooking something in my oven and it caught on fire. i grabbed some water and didnt splash it all in there, just sprinkled it in with my fingers and pulled it out. now the oven doesnt work. the pilot is on, just no gas comes out. i watched it turn bright orange and nothing happened, no flame. so i put a lighter under there to see if it would catch, but nothing. what is wrong? i dont know. im speculating using it for a while.... oops.

I just got a new HH 187 and I can not use it yet. I plan on hooking it up to the 220 volt outlet for the dryer for now as that is the only 220 plug in the house for right now. Eventually I am going to run 220 out to the shop, but for right now I am just going to make an extension cord to use until I can wire the shop for 220.

So my question is what kind of wire do I need? What is the most affordable that will work safely? And approx. how much will it cost.

Thanks.

Okay, I think this is a flourescent light. It is like the kind you see hanging up at gas stations in the window. Well, this is a Miller Lite sign and me and my friend were playing around and broke a piece off. It detached one strand of light in the border and the piece wasn't too big yet wasn't too small. HOW CAN I FIX THIS THING? My dad will kill me if he sees it.

heat but no hot water? One of my clients has this system but the water from the tap is not getting hot when I run it, yet his house is warm (it's cold outside here in Canada). When I told him he had no hot water he touched his heaters and said they were warm.

We use the fireplace so our repair job must withstand heat.

My aunt was backing up MY car. She didn't see the garage door open all the way and hit the bottom of the garage door. It won't open all the way, and it won't close all the way either.

If I run out of oil can I temporarily use kerosene until I get an oil delivery? I understand kersone is more refined than #2 home heating oil so I think it should work.

The oven doesn't work anymore in my gas stove. The pilot light is on...(it's an electic pilot.) The "gas" stove needs to be pluged in to work. I use to use a match to get it started but that's not working anymore. There is gas getting to it because the oven fills with the smell of it. Do you have any ideas on what I should do to fix it or do I have to spend a fortune on a new one? Thank you.

I'm having the basement waterproofed on the inside of the house where they remove the cement floor 18"-20" around the perimiter. After taking down panelling from a wall which leaks, the block is collapsing & there are huge cracks. Would it be easier to fix this problem from the inside or outside of the house? Thank you.

When I wake up in the morning the temperature in the house may show 69 degrees on the thermostat. I increase the thermostat to 74 degrees to get some heat. It never comes on. I switch the fan from auto to on and then back and it may come on. I take the door off the furnace, put it back, I hear a click, then it kicks in. The colder it gets the longer it takes to come on, sometimes as long as 15 minutes. No problem upstairs, change the thermostat the heat comes on instantly. My house has high ceilings.
