  • Is it possible to have a shared water tank and separate water heaters?

    Maintenance & Repairs - 6 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I live in a duplex, where we share a water bill because there is only one tank. We each get separate gas and electric bills though. How is the energy to heat our water separated? Is it possible that one apartment is paying for the heated water of the other unknowingly? Thanks for all the help!
  • Question about metal to metal adhesive. HELP please?

    Will give best answer. So, I just broke my mothers candle holder that hangs onto the wall. I broke the piece that holds the nail in place ( its reminiscent of a torch, once you light the candle inside it ). So, I used some nail glue which is basically the same as Krazy Glue and it worked to adhere the pieces together. I hung it back up but i'm worried it might break off. How long will the krazy glue work for METAL on METAL ?

  • How do I decouple an electrical switch into two discrete switches?

    Maintenance & Repairs - 16 hours ago

    Additional Details

    In my bathroom, the same electrical switch simultaneously turns on the vanity lights and the little fan in the ceiling. I'd like to rewire it so that each unit has its own switch - one that turns on the lights, and a second switch to turn on the fan. How do I decouple this single switch into two switches? Links and/or diagrams are much appreciated :) Thanks!
  • How do i wire my new thermostat? Ritetemp 6022?

    Do It Yourself (DIY) - 16 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I'm replacing an old round thermostat with a new ritetemp 6022 digital one. The old wires all matched the slots that their letters were on.. R= Red, W= White, G=Green, B=Blue, and Y=Yellow. 1 thing that was odd, is that on the roof, the white and yellow are connected together. The Red wire deffinately has 24v on it. So, I'm not sure if I set this up for "4 wire Heat/cool" or for "4 wire heat pump w/o aux" So, I took a lot of pictures, and I'm hopefull that someone can tell me exactly. My guess is Red goes to RH, G to G, Y to Y, just not sure if that White to W considering the white and yellow are connected anyways, and then the Blue wire to B? says its for a change over valve? not sure if i even have that. Thanks for the help. Heres the link to the pictures http://picasaweb.google.com/damien59/Ritetemp6022?authkey=Gv1sRgCPyTypevqP6OdA&feat=directlink
