A suggestion for people who have had confirmed overheating problems, and perhaps for those who are running self-clean for the first time and want to avoid potential trouble -- When running self-clean, aim a portable desk fan at the unit. If it's a free-standing range with control panel on top, set the fan on a chair or stool and direct the airflow toward the controls and such that some air blows down behind it as well. If a wall oven, try to determine where is the intake grill and direct the fan there rather than at the unit's exhaust flow. The point is to get some additional cooling happening. Sure, this shouldn't be necessary, but it's a small concession to make for the convenience of self-clean. I've run self-clean on my GE Profile range several times to no ill effect. I typically set it to run at night so it's finished in the morn and thus had not monitored how much heat is involved. Last time I ran it during the day and found that the control panel did get quite hot. There is no cooling fan on my range, and although no problems had occurred as a result of previous runs, this time when I noticed the heat buildup, I set a small deskfan blowing at the panel and it cooled noticeably within a few mins.

Are you going to buy this faucet sight unseen?? You really need to go and see the faucets in person and if possible try them out. Some plumbing stores have certain models connected to water. I looked at the Hansgrohe and although it says pull down, from the picture it looks more like a pull out. Make sure you look at the exact model that you will be purchasing. Sink fixtures are difficult and expensive. What do you use the spray function for currently? I had an old side pull out that required me to hold the spray button. It was a pit. The new faucets are so easy to use and the spray button take little to no effort on the grohe. You may be worried about the hold button needlessly.

Rina - Fluorescent bulbs (the tubes) have an identifying code, which is: F<watts>T<number><extra code> For instance: F32T8 (32 watts, T8) F54T5HO (54 watts, T5, high output) Each wattage for each type corresponds to a length of bulb. Each length of bulb is going to have a (small range of) lumen value(s). You can do a Google search for, say, "T8 bulbs", choose the result from a site like 1000bulbs.com to get a list of all the T8 bulb options (they will be displayed using the codes described above), and find out what length and lumen output corresponds to each wattage of bulb. Longer tube = more lumens because lumens are a measure of total light QUANTITY emitted by the light source. So a tube twice as long is generally going to emit around twice the lumens, although that is not a hard and fast rule. Note here, as I mentioned in the OP's other thread, that lumens are of limited use in figuring out how good a light is for growing plants.

Hapahaole: I have mostly fixed and casement windows that I'm ordering... However, for my renovation, I had a few awning windows (opened upwards) (The opening mechanism was a "slider" that pushes out the window not a "crank"). The awnings were both in standard window sizes and transoms. I had a group of 3 windows where I did the slider mechanism too (not a crank). I also did a giant full wall slider door....and a massive window (36 ft roughly) where they had to design/build based on structure and weight. We haven't had any issues with our slider (EXCEPT) we got "dividers" in them and since it came unfinished wood, the painters forgot to paint part of the interior slider that when the doors were opened a certain way, you could see it! After construction, they had to carefully remove the door to paint the part they missed (I couldn't watch I was so nervous). After getting a lot of quotes, I recall being surprised that I didn't think the Kolbe VistaLuxe was incredibly much more money, especially since Kolbe was considered higher-end than some of the Marvin lines. It definitely ended up costing more for Kolbe though but that is because I had a lot of "custom" special needs/wants for my windows and we paid an upcharge to my contractor holding him responsible for any fixes/warranties instead of buying the windows on our own and then having him just install. Most Marvin dealers I know are soup to nuts...they will order and do install and then be responsible for workmanship. Some dealers might sub it out to window installers they only use, some have their own crew in house, and others just hire someone to do it. But, with that said, check everyone's warranty for their product line. Good Luck!
