I hear "counter clock-wise." Is that from the bottom looking up? Are the blades facing down or up?

Our house is about a year and a half old now and we have heavy crown molding in most rooms of our house. The house is settling, and there are cracks, not in the molding, but between where the molding meets the ceiling and between the molding pieces. What is the best way to fill those spaces to make the molding look even again? Our molding is solid white and so is the ceiling. Thanks in advance!

This question is refering to my first question scenario - because of our hurricane code down here in South Florida, would it mandate that there is metal in the first 2" from the ceiling in my enclosed porch. I am on the top floor, which is the third floor.
Thanks

I work 3 days a week at a school in a small classroom that has a very old heat vent up toward the ceiling that is broken and stuck open, for some reason it is like an oven in there! The janitor has told me he can not come up with any ideas on how to cover it for me and the children I work with and I suffer horribly! I would like to come up with something I can take with me to cover the days I have to work there as I came home yesterday sick from the heat!Are there any ideas out there? It is a fairly large vent. Any ideas? I got up on a chair and tryed to close it but the lever is broke off and it is rusted so badly I could not do much with it.

To those who read about the proerty damage to my house and responded.I did get a hold of their insurance the day it happend,my neighbors acted so fake in sympathy but did help on taking the pctures.I was only allowed a certain amount for repairs.What was done is as follows....1.) I already have the 9 gauge
chain link fence up a good section of that was torn down by the car.I went ahead and found 2 contractors but the owner to this corner bar from my place recommended these 2 other guys.I beleaved in BOB.I went over just what I wanted done.I did not want a cheap commercial grade crap fence,I wanted the 9 gauge.They did the cheapie one.2)I can't explain the type of wooden siding
that is on this place,but the lower board was destroyed and that was to be replaced.I got corner connectors on the house that are made out of sheet metal
but it binds the corners together on the house.They said they could not find any
and there for went with this sheet metal type thing and molded it.Be Back.

Hi,

I have just moved into a new house that has a Concept 6 alarm system installed. As the house is a repossesion, the previous owner decided not to leave any user manuals or operating codes for the system. The system hasn't been used for several years, indicated by the boxes not being active. However, all the wiring seems fine and I would be interested in seeing if i could get the system to work. How do I go about aquiring manuals for such a system (I cannot find a link to the company through yahoo) so that I can reprogram the system?

Many thanks,

CJ

I've gotten rid of my gas grill and I still have the tank left. I don't want to exchange it, I just want to get rid of it.

The furnace sometimes has a problem firing and the installer(not hvac) thinks it is not getting enough air to fire. It eventually does fire. He removed a plug on the side of furace (about the size of a hockey puck) to allow more air in. It seems to work better but this is not how it is supposed to work. The intake is 3" pvc, 2 elbows, 18 ft long. He also measured gas pressure at two places. He thought the gas pressure coming in may be too high(12). he adjusted the internal pressure to specs. The intake pvc is not clogged. But if you remove it at the furnace it seems to fire normally. He seems to think that removing the plug is good enough. I want to make sure this is not bad for furnace and safe to run this way. Would an adjustable gas valve fix it?
Also, the gas water heater is still vented into chimney, it is in center of house. I have a slate roof so it is difficult to access chimney. The chimney has an elevated cover.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

When I put my door down, it pauses for about 1 sec then goes back up. It has an electric eye that stops it form closing if anything is in the way, but that is clear. Does anyone have a clue what is wrong with it? Oh, and this just started this past week when we got a lot of snow (the midwest blizzard).

We have a General Power Humidifier and humidistat on our furnance. As of now we have our humidistat on 15. I know we have too much humidity, but I don't know how to set the humidistat on a higher amount and not get the water on our sills. Are we doing the right thing? If we keep the humidistat on 15, we seem to have less water.
