    For those of you who haven't caught on yet, Kaleco is a joke site making fun of those who tinker with things that they shouldn't tinker with, hence the products mentioned above. I don't believe they actually sell anything, or they might sell their goodies as souvenirs

    I thought you were suppose to rub the batteries in your hair and the static elect would charge them back up?

    Some older people still believe this- ever notice the bald spots on their heads?

    By the way you forgot to mention the wire stretcher, used for when your wire is just a few inches too short. use this instead of having to wire nut a short piece of wire in, looks so much better and the instructions tell you you much you can stretch it before changing the wire size so you do not undersize the wire.

    I went into a local hardware store where I knew the owner very well, had one of his employees come up to me and ask if he could help me find anything, gave him the story that I was looking for a Left Handed hammer, then proceeded to explain to him that there was a difference in the shape and style of hammers where a Right handed hammer was curved a certain way from handle to head and a left handed hammer was curved in the opposite direction. had him completely fooled by it, until Ridgid came out with their line of hammers that were for Left and Right handed people, bought one just to prove that there was actually something as a left handed hammer.

    And dont you know that by putting batteries in the freezer for three hours will make the AC run real cold? Make sure you put them in an ice tray then cover with water before freezing. Trick is getting the batteries back into the t-stat properly, as stated on page 25 of the manual.

    Sounds like an I-D-10-T Error code...
    You might need tech support for this one.

    If you put the batteries in your pocket till they warm up they'll work better.

    Is this a new way of hiring hack labor or is she seeking free help?

    Also, please let me know if you have any idea of what the source of the problem is. Thank you!

    I keep a voodoo doll of all the equip. we work on. Then just pull out whichever piece you need. Works like a "charm".........
    Never tried the batteries thing, maybe I'll trade in my lucky dice......
