    U.S. Government forces head of GM to resign

    Comrades Comrades, an Old quote, "As GM goes, so goes the nation." I sure do hope that quote is wrong at this time. I wonder what part of the economy our government will try to "fix" next. Whatever it is, sell your shares in it, unless of course its too big to fail...

    So a rhetorical question or two for all. Will Congress give big oil a bailout because their obscene profits have dropped? And will Congress still proceed rapidly with a "Real Energy Plan".:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: I'm thinkin no on both counts.

    Need Furnace advice

    Having done HVAC for 20 years my recommendation is KISS. The Fed's recommendations are right on. This piece of equipment heats your dwelling if it fails, it will be when it is COLD outside. The more bells and whistles on the furnace the less likely the repair guy will have the repair parts "on...

    Can I replace this gas water heater myself (pics)?

    The one thing I noticed from your Pics is the TP relief line is plumed kinda different. Most are plumed to discharge to the floor. Restricting the discharge of the relieff valve can turn your water heater into a bomb. I'm not saying yours is wrong just different than I've seen for a residential...
