  • Good alternative to the Fein multipurpose tool?

    I use my tools as a handyman doing light repairs. Can't justify the expense of the Fein product. Quick change blades would be a plus. I know many tool companies sell them and even Harbor Freight has a version. Am not a Harbor Freight fan but won't rule it out. Any suggestions from the dozen or so brands out there including blades that are reasonably priced? For example, my next project is installing vinyl replacement windows. The openings have raised wood trim which I must cut down flush with the stucco. Seems like the perfect job for a multi-tool. Yes?

  • Heating question re: Horizontal discharge natural gas forced air furnace, [with no A/C and no heat pump]. Issue after changing thermostat?

    The original thermostat had a fan-only setting and a heat setting. I purchased a heat-only Honeywell round thermostat. The wires from the furnace controls has 4 wires: red, white yellow and black. On the back of the thermostat I set the two micro switches according to the setting for gas heat furnace. The problem is since I replaced the thermostat the blower seems to put out less volume of air compared to before. I am using two wires, the red and the white. The yellow and black are not attached. The thermostat has 3 terminals labeled red white and yellow. How can I get the volume of hot air [fan speed] to be what it was with the old thermostat?

    [Nothing on the furnace controls was changed - only change is the thermostat]

  • A female tenant, mid-40's had a boy friend. He never lived in the rental unit. They broke up several months ago.?

    Last week he came over at about 3:30 am in the morning without prior contact or indication and committed suicide outside her front door on the deck. Single shot. My insurance company called a specialized clean up company to clean up the scene. My insurance has $1000 deductible, I will be responsible for paying out of my pocket. Question is should I deduct the $1000 from her cleaning/damage/security deposit? What would you do? The place is now cleaned up and vacant and I am trying to re rent it. I won't charge her for loss of rent.
