I think I have a couple Moan faucets like that.  IIRC, I yanked that stupid plastic piece out of there and connected it like you normally would.

Post: RE: interior window trim buckling/warping
Where are you located?  Maybe the trim was installed too snug & the buckling is caused by swelling due to humidity?

As mentioned above, if any live wires remain in the box, the correct solution is to put a blank cover on it.  If no live wires remain, then you need to remove the box to patch the hole.  What kind of ...

Post: RE: It's always something -- oven doesn't heat
Since you mentioned an element, I presume it's an electric range.  If by some chance it's gas, one of the burner igniters may be out.  There should be two, one for the lower burner which is typically ...

Judging by your description, it sounds like the fan is in the interior of the house?  That would be the biggest concern to me.  If the rubber coupling on the output side of the fan leaks, you are pump...

Good luck trying to pull 3 #6 & a #10 ground through 30-40ft of 3/4" conduit. If there are any 90 deg bends you can forget about it. Upsize the conduit & do it the right way.
