Kathy asked:

We just bought a new construction home and am picking out appliances. I prefer to cook on a gas stove vs electric. There is no gas line in th kitchen but the home does have a gas furnance so there is gas coming into the home. How easy or hard is it to put a line into the kitchen and what is all involved?
Thanks

I bought a property as a primary residence in 2004 (residence A). I lived there until 10/10/2006, when I moved into a new primary residence home (Residence B). I place my original residence (A) up for rent. I did not find a renter until after January in 2007. My question is can I still file Schedule E in 2006 and take a loss for the residence A? I do know I would have to prorate the portion I lived there in schedule A and the portion of the year I had it for rental in Schedule E (if I am allowed to show I received no rental money). Also, for depreciation, what should I use for the value of my home (and for other things, like appliances, or other assets in the home)?

Thank you.

I am connected to city natural gas, but the only appliance in my home that uses it is the gas fireplace. Since we’d only use that about three or four times a year I don’t want to pay the $5 monthly fee that the utilities company charges. The result is that the fireplace sits dormant because I don’t have the gas turned on.

So is there a way to hook this system to a bottle, then just fill the bottle with propane or natural gas and use it when I want to have a fire and never turn on the utilities?

About 30 months ago I bought a top of the line radiant top free standing range for our home. Shortly after the warranty expired the oven ‘ran wild’. It could not be shut down at all and was not even on the clean cycle so it wasn’t locked. If we had not been home it would have gotten so hot that our home would have burned. The repairman told me that this ‘happened all the time’ and ‘you can expect this with today’s appliances’ as he charged me $235 ( $185 to Frigidaire for the part and $50 for the service call). Now with this replacement unit about 5 months ago the outer burner of the large and small unit setup stopped working. The small one works but the outer burners won’t come on when the large burner part of the control is used. Last week the door handle for the oven just fell off. I fixed this myself. Shortly after buying the range I also bought a standup refrigerator of the same brand. The bottom most shelf just fell off when loaded (not overloaded). After — please see additional
that the part was not designed correctly. It could not work! It is designed to be a spring fir but the maker of this part made the relief for the plastic mold go the wrong way– which weakened the part. I have designed plastic parts for manufacture, so I know this. Has anyone else had problems with this brand? I just will not buy this brand for our new house. We will use SubZero or xomething but not these.

I’m trying to learn how the power grid works and I’m confused by one thing. When you plug an appliance into your home electrical outlet, power flows through it and into the ground. My question is, if power plants are connected to the ground, why does electricity go all the way to your house, when there’s a ground right there? Doesn’t it follow the path of least resistance? Thanks
Aren’t power lines grounded at each pole?
