Jen, If you have essential repairs that need to be made, you should see if your city offers no-interest or forgiveable loans, for rehab projects. These loans are usually based on income, minority status or disability. In our city, we have such a loan program; however, it is so good that there

That's correct; the mortgage company will make sure that you have insurance, as they need to protect their investment, and it's much more costly than your conventional insurance, thus driving up your monthly payment. Claudia - Original Message - From: Dan Rossi To:

The light bulb on our front porch went out. Question; being that it has some kind of censor that turns the light on once it gets dark and turns off in the morning when it gets light, is it a special light bulb? My wife thinks so, but I don't think so. I think it'll takes any light bulb

It is not any special light bulb. There should be numbers and letters on the bulb to confirm this. I wouldn't use a compact fluorscent unless you are in a pretty moderate climate. Bulbs rated for rough service, as in trouble lights or traffic signals last longer if the door is used a lot

You are probably right unless it is some sort of florescent bulb. Some of them are special in order that they can strike in sub-zero temperatures. The lamp bulb does not do the sensing. - Original Message - From: Brice Mijares To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday,

This won't go over well with the wife, but you are right. The fixture itself is what makes it different. There are seals to keep the water out of the outlet. You can run any bulb that fits the threads in the outlet. This is within reason. Don't plug in a 500 watt halogen bulb, or

The only consideration you should concern yourself with is that you not install a light bulb with so high a wattage that the fixture overheats. The fixture should have a wattage statement such as, Do Not Exceed xxx Watts. Holland's Person, Bill E-Mail: billgal...@centurytel.net - The early

Hi, Sometimes the lamp unit has a photocell, which switches on/off at dawn/dusk. However some bulbs also have this unit at the bottom of the bulb. You will know if the bulb has it built in, as the bulb is bulkier than normal. If replacing the bulb doesn't work, perhaps the photocell has blown.
