I have a 277 v. light that has (2) 32 watt 4 pin lamps. Right now it has (2) ballasts and I would like to make it a (1) ballast fixture. Each lamp socket has 2 red wires and 2 blue wires. I bought a new ballast that is supposed to be rated for two 32 w. 4 pins. The ballast has 6 stab terminals, 2 blues, 2 yellows and 2 reds, along w/ h,n,g. The fixture does not have any yellow wires. I'm wondering if I can make it work, or if I need to stay with the 2 ballast system. If anyone can answer this but needs more info, you can email bighitter0008@yahoo.com. Thank you.

I have the above floor cleaner and when I first got it, worked fine...the last couple times I have used it when its set to carpet, then it starts out working fine and then starts making a very weird sound (like it may be "eating": something, like it gets stuck in a position) but the roller bar is clear. i shut it off, start it again and it works fine for a few more minutes the the cycle starts over.

As I said this only happens when it is set to carpet mode, for bare floors and to use the hose it works fine. think is when I try to do the carpets on bare floor mode it wont pick up anything 9not sure how it knows since it does pick up on bare floors) but in any case

Yes I bought it new (well it was on clearance)...no I didnt fill out the warranty card (I was in a transitional period and actually it stayed in my storage facility for about 6 months) and then when I started to use it it would have been past the waaranty period anyway(give or take a couple months).
anyone have fix?

I have timers to control the christmas lights. I use them to time the humidifier etc. These work great. But the only problem is that they are something which goes into the wall electric outlet. I can then plug in any lamp, humidifier etc. But what about the lights which do not have a plug and have a switch installed? I can take out the wall switch and put a kind of timer? What is such a timer called? How much does it cost and how easy and risky is it to install it?

Thanks so much

My house was built 3 years ago with radiant floor heating in my basement which is living quarters. In the event of a power outage during a winter storm, my heating system would not run. What I need is ball park figure of the time that it would take to start freezing the water lines that are constructed within the cement slab floor. A brief outage obviously would be no problem. Lets say that at 10 F. the ice covered electric lines took 12 hours to get up and running. Probably, still cool. But at what length of time should I seriously consider going into debt for a generator? I'd rather buy a new genny than replace a radiant heating system. Or some Kerosone heaters to put on basement floor? We can survive without electric and provide some heat for the house for a few days but what would the danger be the the floor pipes freezing up because the water is not flowing. I have two non-electric heating devices for a 44x28 house, furnished basement & main floor. How prepared do I need to be?

I have 3 toilets in my house that aren't running just right. One keeps refilling and two have a floater that gets stuck sometimes. If I tap the floater it works, but I have to open the tank about 1/2 the time.
I am NOT handy, but these repairs fall to me in my household. Is there any real benefit to diagnosing the exact problem and replacing just that or should I just junk the innards and replace the toilet works? It seems to be only about 16 bucks for the works at the hardware store.
Also, there seems to be a lot of black crud in the tanks. Could a previous owner have used the dread toilet tank cleaners that degrade the rubber of toilets and if so is there anything I should do about that now?

I noticed the dishwasher wasn't getting dishes as clean anymore. Then water started hanging out in the bottem. Now it's pretty full of water that has no desire to drain. Could this be the dishwasher itself, or maybe a hose or something? Has this happened to any of you?
Thanks so much for the help!

What do you guys use for regulat maintance of drainage? My bathtub was blocked a couple of months back. I tried plunger and auger. Then finally I had to call the plumber. Mr Plumber spent 20 minutes in taking out all the hair in the pipes and gave me a nice bill of $300.

My other bathtub was blocked this month. I used a chemical (purchased from Home Depot) which was very strong and infact comes as a container inside a ziplock. I am not able to recal the name. But it actually did the job. My bathtub is running like anything.

Now, a question for you guys. This chemical was great in opening the chocked drainage. But since it is very strong, I am not sure if I should be using it on a regular basis for preventive care. So, what product do you use for your bathtub, sinks, kitchen etc. And how often? Do you use it every week or every month.

Thanks so much.

The "cold" faucet will turn off but it has to be lined up properly. The facuet simply turns in a 360 degree circle with no stopping point to shut off the water, unless it is lined up properly. Can this plastic stem be replaced? Thanks

We built a bungalow 30+ years ago and even though in the past few years we've had some little problems with condentation where the bathroom window would be slightly wet inside and cupboards placed on the outside wall side (on 1 wall only) would be black behind the cupboards, it wasn't too bad.

In the past 6 months we've had a new roof, including new felt, tiles and vents at the eaves of your bungalow (the vents we never had on this bungalow before). Since then, we've had water on the inside of 3 different windows including puddles on the window sills. We also have black on the top corners of every room.

I really don't know what to do as the cavitity walls are filled, we already have vents at the eaves of the bungalow and we even leave windows on draft to let some air into the rooms.

The other thing we've tried is to build a hardboard stud wall behind the wardopes. This only hides the problem in this room, it doesnt cure it.

Please help as I'm tearing my hair out!

I live in northern California in an apartment that has serious mold all around the window frames, there are also two access panels in the ceiling in my childrens room and the bathroom, which have mold coming out of them. The property manager has been notified several times, I've lived here for over three years, but nothing has been done to stop the mold. It is so much I can not keep up with cleaning it all, plus it stains the paint where it's been. Is there any advice or information you could provide?
