Maintenance & Repairs - March 2007

I have a outdoor hot tub wired directly into a breaker in my breaker box. The breaker tripped recently and I didn't know until I happened to check the tub and notice ice forming (not good). After I thawed it out so the pipes didn't freeze I wondered if there exists a circuit breaker that give an audible alarm when the power is lost/ circuit trips.
Has anyone heard of such a thing and if so where can you find it.
Thanks!

i've had trouble sleeping since moving here and i wonder if there's a connection and if the city or local electric company will test - not that they would admit high levels, but i'm on disability currently and can't really afford to have it tested myself. would really appreciate any suggestions.

Other than trying to cut out everything and put back in, are there ANY ways to take care of a very small leak in PVC?

There is a regular noise coming from inside the wall (near the baseboard) of our 100 year old house. It is a faint, single "tick" about once every 30 to 45 seconds. It is barely noticeable except at night when the house is quiet. There is an electrical outlet on that wall, but almost nothing plgged into it. We also have hot water heat, but as far as I know there are no pipes running there. Any ideas?

We have an oil-heated furnace. It was working fine until we accidentally ran out of oil. We had to bleed the line to get it started again. Since then, it randomly turns itself off. We go downstairs, hit the little reset button on the furnace (not the emergency switch, there is a small, round reset button), and it comes back on. Happens 2 or three times a day - once usually in the middle of the night. Anyone know what could be causing this or how we could fix it without having to put in a service call?

It looks identical to the bulbs on this page
http://www.lyco.co.uk/category-contents/Low-Voltage.htm?catID=1879
but it's in a ceiling fitting, so I can't believe it's low voltage. It must be 240V.
It has no markings or writing on it. Please help, it's in the loo and it's really dark in there.

We don't use a city water system, we have a well for our water supply and this has just started happening in the past week or so. The water is "chuffing" although it's not coming out in spurts, it's still a steady stream. It just sounds like there is air in the pipes. Should I be worried?

I live in a apt. complex which they converted into condos. The people upstairs have hard wood flooring,which is fine, but it is making my house extremely loud now. I think they are doing normal everyday type things but where I am sitting it sounds so ridiciously loud. Whenever they drop something on their floor or have their kid running around,it sounds like a circus sideshow over my head everyday. I know it is during the day but no normal person can even enjoy their house.
my question is this, is there a way for a private contracter to come in & cut out a hole in my roof so I can blow insulation in there? I have already contacted the property manager I am just waiting for a responsive e-mail. I thought I would ask around just for curiousty.

Any feedback would be great & thanks.

The house was built in 1965 and I had it inspected and the structure was fine. What could be the problem? I did find bricks in the toilet bowl. I asked of the longstanding neighbor about this and she said the brick was to conserve water by the first owners
(I'm the fourth) but the toilet water ran slowly and now water is coming up from both bathroom tubs and laundry drainers. In essense I have two problems. I read answers on ASK about stubborn toilet clogs and learned about using a toilet auger. I am waitng for home depot or menard to open up to purchace one. Please help me, this is my first investment and I don't have alot of money. Am I on the right track about the clog drainers ? And I thinking it is the pipes knocking what can be done or do I go without eating for a month and call someone in? Thanks in advance.
