I think it is neat to give homeowners a type of "map" of all the wiring. I thought that there might be a software in the market that would allow me to quickly create and print such map. Is that possible? Which software is that? If not, how do electricians "register" what they have done for future use?

I have a home that was built in 2006, I have a outside breaker box, with that I now have a GFI that doesn't work thru out the home, what I mean is that when it gets below 38 degrees F, the GFI's don't work in any of the home, you can reset it all you want, still won't work, all GFI's have been replaced, I have had electricians out, they don't know what is wrong with it either, I need some advice on what to do next... The outlets do work later after the temp warms up, we live in colorado so weather has been the noticable factor. Ideas anyone...If I don't get this fixed soon my wife will strangle me...she works at 4am, so it doesn't work when she "needs" it. Thanks

I recently purchased a digital Honeywell thermostat. The Heat system works fine, but the cooling system does not work. I connected wiring as it came out in the instruction manual. I used a voltimeter to make sure there was nothing wrong with the system itself. Does that mean the thermostat is defective?

Often when I open/close the garage door, it stops abrubptly in the middle and goes the other way. So I have to keep pressing the remote or wall switch to fully close/open it. It doesn't happen all the time, and nothing seems to be blocking the little red light at the front.

Any ideas/suggestions - other than purchasing a new garage door system?

I came home one day and one zone woudn't turn off. I know I need to call someone to come look at it, but I was hoping someone might give me a heads up. I turned off the water source and left it alone for awhile hoping it would fix itself, but when I turned it back on the sprinkler turned on automatically.

Technics PX103: i unscrewed four screws in back, lifted the top panel and heard the sound of glue coming undone. I wasn't sure whether I was damaging it more so I stopped. Is there a technical or assembly manual I could get for one of these somewhere? Please help someone.

We moved some furniture on the weekend and put a few light surface scratches on the laminate flooring. Is there any way to get these out (or reduce them) without replacing the boards??

(Its a rental property so i don't want to start messing around with it too much)

My grandfather just gave me a framed photo of my sister and I from when we were little. Unfortunately, the frame is broken (and ugly!) and I would like to change it, but the photo is stuck to the glass (which is also cracked). Is there any way to remove the picture without damaging the photo?

I have mains pressure water and a storage heater, but it never runs out of hot water so I think it can also heat continuously (unless I just don't use that much!).

I turn on the shower to warm it up and within about 10 seconds the pressure drops and I have to turn it up. Then every few minutes the same thing will happen but to a lesser extent. It's usually only the hot water, the cold is usually fine.

What would cause this and what should I do about it? Or is it normal?

I have installed two new cables and both broke. The first one broke at the bottom where it connects to the control arm and the second cable broke on the top near the handle. The installation looks intuitive, however, it is not. There must be a technique or method for getting the adjustment correct without the cable breaking.

My breakers are 15 amp breakers (fairly new) and whenever I use the electric heater which happens to be one of the most efficient heaters on the market today that uses very little electricity. It always trips my breakers, I have some electrical experience (enough to be dangerous) and I've installed breakers before my question is can I upgrade to 20 amp breakers from 15 amp for the zones that have heaters and would that be safe?
