I own an expensive Weber Gas Grill that will not light most of the time. When I do get it lit, the flame bar does not produce much flame and only over part of its surface. How do I restore the grill to its original functionality? Note that propane tank is full and I've tried switching tanks.

I am very concerned about global warming, and when I grow up (I'm only fourteen) I plan on using solar power to power my home (and I hope that when I grow up it's customary). How efficient is solar power? How many square feet would it take to power a 2,000 square foot home? How much would it cost?

~~~I can home from work, there were the hoses, about to burst behind the washing machine, I called my friend, her dad said he would come right over. (hes a very very sweet older gentleman,semi retired plummer, recently widowed ) he charged me $34.00 for the two "steel" :) hoses and $35.00 labor, for a total of $69.00...took him almost an hour, the hoses were corroded and he had a heck of a time getting them disconnected. I gave him $100.00 told him have a few drinks on me with your buddies,,,,he gave me a hug,,,and said thank you sweetie,,,,,but in my last question someone said it would be an insult to tip ? Did I just insult a very dear older man? I figure he came over asap and replaced the hoses,,,,that were ready to burst. Did I insult him? if not,,,did I tip him enough? I thought $69.00 for parts and labor was pretty good.

How do you get a burner on a gas stove to ignite a flame if it takes a little too long? I don't like waiting too long and letting gas fumes fill the Kitchen. The pilot light is still on. My boyfriend says to light a food wrapper from a different burner and use that to light the slow burner. He also says to light it with a match. I want to stay safe. I guess you could say I have a phobia about matches, fire, and gas.

I recently moved into a condo that had in the powder room, as its single light source, a recessed flourescent light. The bulb was a 2 pin Sylvania DULUX D 13 W flourescent. If I want to change to a screw in standard incandescent can I just change the buld recepticle or do I need to change the whole assembly? Is there a special transformer of ballast that is hidden somewhere that I need to worry about? Thanks in advance.

or using very little of it. I put a screen room on my deck. The contracter said the deck would last providing that it wasn't exposed to alot of direct water. It hasn't been. I have got a new puppy who has made a mess out there, though and it needs a good scrubbing. The deck is painted and sealed as well.
