  1. A local nurse that used to teach lamaaze and fire safety (stay low stay calm, etc) at the hospital a few years ago had a house fire because they thought they had big enough extension cord for their christmas display.  The house caught on fire and she was in the upstairs beedroom.  she called 911 to report the fire and was very coherent, she had an escape ladder under the bed but they later determined she was afraid to use it.  This was a person that was trained and did training for others.  My point is Just be carefull whatever you do. I don ot want to get into the whole competent homeowner and license electrician thing (I have seen the work of licensed electricions that I would not let work on my house . . .what ever course you decide just use extreme caution when working with heavy loads.  an electric stove is also supposed to be on a 220 dedicated circuit.


  2. Exactly what BannerJohn said - I have an ebay seller that has never done me wrong but it took trying a couple I will never touch again to find out.  I also have tried Jack Ripper for great supplies


  3. A friend and myself have played a little with Ebid but so far not enough people are aware of it- someone like google with their own check out system and deep pockets needs to get into the online auction business to offer some real cometition.  when Ebay bought paypal it was only a mater of time until the fees went up as that is the preferred payment by so many people.  I read paypals first quarter earnings were over 570 million.  When there is no real competition they will keep scr**ing the sellers as much as they can as it only increases their profits
