My fiancee and I recently bought a house that was built in 1946. the wiring is still all 110 and the breakers are just 2 switches on the kitchen wall.
We need to get a new breaker box and run 220 so we have updated wiring. It'd be nice to use my electric dryer again..
Does anyone know how to do this, or do you know a link that could give us an overview on how this is done?

4 roof panels are slipping and 2 have been broken.I want to replace them myself as I know it will be expensive to repair.Some companies won't touch it as it wasn't their company that built it.Can anyone advise me or is it definately not a DIY job?

cant be re-attached because the wood is so old and it cant get a hold. how can I fix that problem with out changing the frame? Its an old frame but the well designed frame would most likely be expensive to fabricate.

It just seems to obvious...

Most likely ,I may know the answer to this , but I am wondering specifically ....because in the area I live there are 1970's and newer mobile homes , here. Also I just replaced my gas water heater , about a year and a half ago. I have had no problems and I drain (every 6 mths ,the build up , that is) and check for leaks and such. Any help would be appreciated.

I have this engine on my go kart, and one day I tried to start it with the choke on and it started jumping. It had never done that before. Then when I tried to turn off the choke the engine would die. I figured out that if I try and start the engine with the choke off and give it gas it will run but when I try and stop the engine dies instead of idling. If anyone knows how I could fix this problem that would be great.

there can be upto half the window filled with water, not steam, which then runs down the window onto the ledge causing puddles. this is then getting under the ledge and causing it to rise up. also, when you open the windows up water can be found in the bottom of the frame.it can be found on every window in the house, even the doors. we were given a fensa certificate when they were fitted, is it worth anything? does this sound normal?

I purchased a Whirlpool refrigerator 3 years ago. The door on our refrigerator has developed some sort of problem to where it will not close easily or stay closed. If we open the freezer door and shut it the refrigerator door comes open. I came home from work yesterday evening to discover that the door had sat open for 10 hours and had to throw all of the food away inside. What are some reasons that the gasket on the door can become decompressed or be worn out? My husband recently cleaned the refrigerator and I swear it has never closed well since he cleaned it. We have a repairman coming to look at it but it will not be covered if the owner intentionally or unintentionally damaged it. Would using a cleaning agent on the gasket do this? Also my ice maker only produces hollow ice cubes. What could be the reason for this?

I have a good understanding for how A/C systems work, but I have a typical (7 cu) small freezer that I am repairing a leak on, that I do not appear to understand how it works. I am an amatuer and not a professional, but I am an electrical engineer so I guess you could say I am not a complete idiot.... :)

On the high (condensor) side, one end goes out of the compressor to the condensor coil located on the back of the freezer. The the other side of the condensor coil, however, goes back to what I think is the dryer, but the other side of the dryer is pinched off and dead ends. Meaning, it does not appear that the loop of the condensor coil goes back to the compressor... It appears rather odd...

On the low (evaporator) side, I can see where it comes out of the compressor, but it does not appear to come back.... Meaning, it leaves, and does not appear to link to any expansion valve / Dryer I am aware of...

Am I missing something, or is this A/C freezer seem to work

I just moved into a new home in northern North Dakota, where it is seriously cold. The driveway's cement is just a few months old. All the driveway salt that I have found says it is not for use on new concrete (as it can crack more easily). Does anyone know if there is a product available that will de-ice new concrete? Thanks for your help.
