I have a 13 year old propane heater that failed last year and no one seems to want to fix it. It's a Purex Triton Minimax plus. Apparently these have a bad reputation. I had the control panel replaced so those functions operate but now it won't ignite. Last person who looked at it suspects it's...

Hello, I'm new to this forum. I wish I had joined earlier to avoid problems with my plaster. I have stains, scaling and a nasty crack on a corner. I'm going to replaster either later this summer or at the beginning of next year. I've gotten 12 years out of the original plaster and was fine...
