How long should you keep a small window unit running? Does it need to be shut off for a period of time to let the unit cool down? Or can it be left running for days? It's only about 1 year old, but the owner cant find the owner's manual.

Yeah...So I plan on living in my van during college. Its a 1993 gmc Vandura 2500 the back is aprox 6 by 9.5 by 4.5. Luckily, I have about $3,000 to invest into it (aside from appliances), so it wont be so bad. I've been planning this since I was in 7th grade, however I still have a few issues.

Most importantly, powering the appliances. solar panels would cost too much...so is there any way to power batteries off of the gas engine, and use them during the night? This is a list of the appliances I will use, and approx how long during each DAY....yes, this is quite a bit of power...which is why I also wonder if hooking up several generators (making sure of theft-proofness, and safety w/fumes) would be an option
20" tv +satellite equipment 3 hrs/day
Laptop 5 hrs/day
3 15 watt lights 10hrs/day
1000 watt microwave .25 hrs/day
surround sound/stereo equip 6 hrs/day

Hello everyone,

I was going through some old catalogs and found one about
Steve and Bill's Stove Company. Does anyone know, if they are still in business, and if so could you supply contact info.

Thanks,

Scott

I am looking to get services of any pest control company in california. I am only aware of companies which take a year contract but I am looking for one time service.

Is anyone aware of any company which does that? Also, if you have any experience with them, please share that as well.

I have central a/c in my home. I used to turn it off during the day when I'm not home, but someone told me that it costs more money to cool down a hot home, then it does to let the a/c run all day. If that's true, what is the best temperature for energy efficiency and cooling?

This is mainly for a chocolate lab named Hemmie who is currently in love with a pretty dog down the street. I would like to put up a chain link fence around the back side of the house to the garage. It is a pretty substantial area to fence in. I dont want my back yard to look like a prizon. Do I have to get a building permit or any other things to do this? How tall should the fence be for a dog who currently cannot jump? Should the fencing people have a contract with the exact cost on it, or will it vary a little? Do I have to have my property surveyed to know where the line is between me and the vacant lot next door since the fence is going to run along that line. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also, are labs good diggers? If I spend a fortune to fence him in and he digs out. I may be at a loss.

I'm supposed to move to Queens in New York on August. So I have to find out new rent house.
My new company is located on astoria(46th ave.) I have two kids(5th and 7th grade)
I have to consider good school for kids and distance from new company.
I think it would be reasonable if the distance is in 20 miles or so from new comapny and it takes one hour to reach to company.
Actually, I start around 7 a.m.
I'm considering monthly rent charge with 3 beds for $1,800 to $2,300 or so.
Can you recommend the best place or town for me?
Thank you.
