I've been mixing about 50-50 of E85 and regular gasoline. I have 1 snowblower with a Craftsmen 5.5HP engine, one 16 year old 3.5 hp push lawn mower for the hard to reach spots and a craftsment 17.5 hp lawnmower. I've been using this E85 mix with my 16 year old lawn mower and I don't see any negetive effects. Could something else go wrong when using E85 mix in the long term?

Am looking for a furnace humidifier. Can one be attatched to our filtered water system...or will it still scale up? Had one l5 years ago not attatched to filtered water and it was horrible and hard to care for...Much build up. We just had our third portible one kick the bucket.

It is Craftsman 6.0 with gas engine. I added gas, but it failed to start no matter how many times I pulled the rope for starting the engine. Anyone has better advice? I'd really appreciate it.

I don't know how to read the amps on the circuit breaker. How do you know if it's 100 amps or 120 amps? Where do you see this information? Thanks!

Our Propane dealer has told us they need to replace two regulators and we are on the list but it seems that we are using quite a bit of over priced propane in the meantime.

My friend's door lock is frozen because we're having -30 weather. How can we get the door warm enough, or any type of suggestion, so that we can get in it.

My gas furnace is clicking and the pilot is lit but the furnace doesn't start. It just continues to click. It sounds like a small motor is running also. What could be wrong and what can I do?

How do I find out why two bulbs in my tanning bed don't work? Changing the bulbs does not help. They just don't work at all.

I just bought a home which was a foreclosure. Because of this, it was bank owned and they have no information on the hot tub that came with the house. I have no way of contacting the previous owners, but even if I did, I doubt they'd be helpful in helping me with their hot tub that they lost to foreclosure.

The hot tub itself seems in pretty good shape. No visible cracks. It's mounted on a wood deck. And it was covered well, only a small bit of mucky water inside of it. I've never owned a hot tub before, so I'm a complete newbie when it comes to them. Can anyone get me started on what I would need to know to see if it works, cleaning it (emptying that mucky water would be a good start), and making sure its safe? I would hate to be electrocuted the first time I set foot in it, though I'm sure thats a totally irrational fear. It looks well built and sturdy. The house was built in 2000 so the hot tub itself can't possibly be older than that.

Thank you for any assistance.

My hot water pipes froze overnight! I live in Chicago, it's 8 below zero with a windchill of 24 below! My basement apartment faces South and I put the cold water taps on a drip to keep from freezing. Unfortunately, I didn't do the same for the hot water tap and now they're frozen. The laundry room is just outside my kitchen door where the pipes are located; the hot water heater is in the SW corner of that area too. I don't think the hot water heater has been all all night....it's a big one...can the water in there freeze too? I have a big space heater turned on now out there. It's frigid but sunny so the pipe wall is getting sunlight. What else can I do? Calling for a service call is out of the question....no money, no credit cards for this kind of situation (I'm paying off my Mom's medical bills & funeral costs, so I'm broke). PLEASE, ANY HELP OR SUGGESTIONS!

Does anyone know how to fix a kitchen sink tap? Mine is a mono mixer type tap - therefore i'm not sure whether it uses washers or not.....It is backed against the kitchen wall, will this affect dismantling? How do I dismantle it? (The taps are quarter turn - single flow mono mixer type). Thanks.
