    Granite Tile

    Just wondering what I can use to stick the granite tile I just bought to the face of my mantlepiece? I was told I can use Liquid nails but I was thinking if it gets hot in this area it could soften the glue. Also...what can I use to round over the granite tile? It's black granite.

    Question about Electric Wall Heaters

    Do you have a fuse panel? If so it sounds to me that one of the cartridge fuse is blown and you're only getting 1/2 of the needed voltage.

    Electrical Outlet Problem

    I'm not really understanding here. So in your panel there was a GFCI breaker and the outlets outside were GFCI as well? Did you try anything else in the outlet? If the outlets are GFCI did you reset those? Could be that the conductors are loose on the outlets.

    New stove wiring black,red,white where

    The bare copper goes to a specific ground bar. The white goes to a specific neutral bar...not the same as the ground. There should be 2 seperate bars for these. Both red and black get screwed into the breaker. Doesn't matter.

    outdoor lighting

    If you are referring to low-voltage lighting this should be a pretty easy job. You will just need to plan things out first. If this is going to be "standard" lighting at 120volts and you want over 20 lights. You will need to add 2 or more circuits to your panel and run the applicable wire...
