    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!

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

    Maintenance & Repairs - 15 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

  • Boy vs. girl squirrels caught in a cage trap?

    Other - Home & Garden - 18 hours ago

    Additional Details

    We catch squirrels in out back yeard by trapping them in a cage and set them free in an open space a few miles away. But we notice the boy squirrels are almost always trying to get out while the girls just sit there quietly in the cage. Why is that ? LOL its really easy to tell on a squirrel. We think the boys are trying to solve the problem while the girls just sit there and cry.

Three ways to add colour to a room

Brighten your décor with these easy touches

By Editor

1. Usher in summer with bright lampshades: switch up neutrals for supercharged nature-inspired tones of coral, turquoise, orange, or chartreuse.

2. In the kitchen, choose small appliances in bright shades that pop against a countertop, or opt for silicon accessories in eye-popping shades.

3. Add a hit of colour to your floor with a striped runner or area rug and don't forget toss pillows: geometrics or graphic florals are the freshest options.
