We have an older forklift, which runs great and serves our purposes but there is one problem with it. The internal mast rises before the forks are fully extended/lifted.....howev... you want to say it.....The problem that it causes is the mast hits the ceiling and the bottom of the pallet being lifted is only 8-9' off the floor. I need the forklift to reach up another 3' so that I can get it on the top shelf of the pallet racking that I just bought. Does anyone know how to change the order of how the forklift raises the forks so that the forks rise before the internal mast starts to rise? Is it even possible?

I got this wall oven for my mother because hers broke and could not be repaired. We were given it minus a users manual. When Whirlpool was contacted they told us they don't have manuals more than 10 years old. Where can I get one? We can't get the oven to work without it. I hope someone can help! I've scoured the net already. Thanks!

My dryer takes about 3-4 times to dry one load and there is almost never lint in the tray. So I cleaned out all the lint I could get to under the tray it came out all wet and really pressed. Now when I turn it on, it does get hot but the inside of the dryer is all wet and sweaty as if I took a shower in it. Is there a way to open it up and check inside to see if there is anything clugged up. Or could it be a problem with the this heater thing in the back (it does glow red hot) when i run it. Please help what can I check for how can I solve this probleme

The bolts are metal, the are NOT corroded. With the type of toilet I have, the bolts do NOT come out underneath the toilet, so there is no wing nut or anything to loosen and/or hold on the other end of the bolt. They just spin in place when I try to turn them with a screwdriver. What to do?

Air bubbles come up from the drain in my first floor toilet every time the toilet upstairs is flushed, or the shower is running, or the washing machine is draining. Also, the toilet doesn't always flush all the way. Usually every other time I flush it, the water rises to the top of the bowl and then slowly returns to the original level, but doesn't flush all the way. It sometimes works perfectly fine though. Oh, and I don't have a basement, my main water lines are on the same level as the problem toilet.

Go to www.gaspricewatch.com
You put in your town and state and a map comes up showing the gas stations with the cheapest gasoline. And you can type in regular or unleaded too.

We haven't moved into the house yet, but was told that the central heat still works, but the central air does not. Does anyone know if it would be cheaper to just buy a whole new unit, or try to get the central air fixed? Thanks!

I plan to bleed my radiators for the first time. I've read that If you have a gravity filled system the system will look after itself but if you have a combi boiler, the pressure will need to be checked after bleeding. How do I know what I have? The boiler is an "HB Smith G200 Series" that is about 30 yrs old. Thanks.

I have 3 light fixtures, 2 of which looked like the bulbs were burnt out so when I put in new bulbs and they still didn't work, I learned that's because the ballast needs to be replaced. There is 1 more light fixture that is a two-lamp fixture, and one of the bulbs has burnt out and the other one is still working but the light is very dim. I'm wondering if that fixture needs to get the ballast replaced too because someone told me that if there is light, then the ballast does not need to be replaced.

My wife thinks that some of the vents in our house is blowing cold air. I admit that the air coming out of some vents in the smaller rooms feels warmer than other vents in the larger rooms. Is it possible that some vents could blow cooler air while other vents blows warmer air?

It seems like after a year and a half, they start leaking at the connections. Not where they screw on to the spigot but right under that. What am I doing wrong?

I have removed all the screws/nails and am left with holes all over our thin coat plaster over wallboard walls. Do people usually just leave these as is or do they repair prior to moving out?

We will be away on holidays during winter, therefore I am thinking to drain out the water so there is no worry about BURST PIPES. Is it a good idea?

My husband and I are arguing about what minimum temperature to keep the house. I would like to put it as low as possible during the night because we are having some serious financial troubles. He insists we need to keep it high for our 7 year old. I don't want her to get sick. So what is the lowest we could possibly set it where there is no risk to our child...or pipes bursting.

I had a plumber install a new sink and faucet. The old sink was already out and the faucet was new. It took him 3.5 hours and I was charged 407.08 ! He was supposed to be coming out to do that and to fix a small leak under each bathroom sink (2)(which he never got to) the lady on the phone told me about 500.00 to do all of it. Did I get totally ripped off?
P.S. it was a self rimming sink (not undermount)

I have a Dewalt DC 385 18v reciprocating saw that the reciprocating assembly where the blade mounts has become disconnected from the motor. The motor runs, but the blade does not move.

Anybody out there have any experience with these and can they be repaired?

I can't take it back to the store or get warranty since it is no longer in warranty.

Thanks,
Dale
