another good point to make too is to be sure and secure your telephone connection if it is on the outside of the house. The "power" of a security system is not it's siren (we here these things everyday in the city) it's the monitoring service. The monitoring service cannot work if the security...

aaah, okay. you guys cleared all of it up. I thought this thing had some minor malfunctions, but it all seems to be normal then!

My neighbor gave me a Frigidaire TL that's about 10 years old or so when he replaced it with a FL Bosch. It appears as if the spin brake is bad in it. When the spin cycle is finshed, the motor cuts off, but the brake doesn't engage. The lid stays locked for over a minute or so while the tub...

3.0 chrysler Dan, that 3.0 motor in the Chrysler minivan was not a genuine Chrysler built engine...it is actually a Mitsubisi engine, and that engine had all sorts of issues in the Mitsubishi branded products too. There was a multivalve model of that engine that was installed in the 3000GT that...

My family has been customers of this store for years, as has been many other Richmonders. They gave a level of service unparalleled by any of the national chains and big box stores, and their prices were competitive with them too! As a fixture of the area,I thought this place would always be...

anybody that works on commercial refrigeration equipment can probably get it back going again for you. (like the guy that repairs the coolers in grocery stores) Compressors are relatively inexpensive...well, to say inexpensive, I mean around $100-$150. The expensive part is the labor to put it...

air conditioning! Southern cities really didn't grow big until the invention of air conditioning. It really changed the South, and made buildings more bearable, and allowed white-collar offices to exist

my mother had a fridge similar to this. The freezer door would jam similar to what you are having issues with. It wasn't frozen, but something would go fubar with the little cams that supposed to hold it shut. If I can remember, they flip over when the freezer drawer is pushed shut, and they...

I have installed several LED lights in my camping trailer. I noticed one significant problem with the white LED's that is never discussed. The phosphor in them degrades after about 2000-4000 hours. Yes, the LED still lights up, so the manufacturer can claim that the LED still works, and has a...

I spotted the solenoid on that speed queen ad in the screen name thread. I've got one sitting around here. Only, I bought mine from Da-Lite screen company. It's used as a door solenoid in their biggest screens. The projection screen at my church is a good 16 feet long, and the same solenoid is...

I get so annoyed at the people who keep placing conservatives, Bush, and Republicans all in the same boat... THEY ARE *NOT* THE SAME!!!! First off...Yes, Bush was a Republican, but he WAS NOT CONSERVATIVE!!! This is truly obvious when one looks at his spending! Clinton was more conservative...

I have found most flat-panel televisions from 42 inches and above to consume anywhere from between 300 watts up to about 1000 watts. It usually depends on the size of the set, and the technology they use. Plasma TV's tend to draw more power, and can be found in sizes above 50 inches. The big 65...

Smoking in bed?!?!?! Never mind how gross it is, isn't that extremely DANGEROUS!!! I know we've had two fires in my neighborhood in the past year that were started on the bad.

I went over to the Circuit city corporate headquarters building this evening to purchase a desk for my home office. The place was very weird...I should have took some pictures inside the office. The security gates were opened, and at the receptionist's desk was a cashier. The building is open...
