comment What's causing the popping noise from my speakers?
Are the speakers plugged in to a surge suppressor, UPS, or other similar electrical device? Is the receptacle that the speakers are plugged in to grounded (does it have a ground pin, that is being used)?

comment Why is my air conditioner tripping the circuit breaker?
If the condenser fan does not spin, you can stop the diagnosis. You need a new motor, yours is locked. When a motor is not spinning (locked rotor), resistance is very low (nearly 0), making current very high. If this situation is not corrected (i.e. the rotor does not start to spin), the current in the circuit will quickly surpass the level at which the breaker should trip. I'll try to write a proper answer later when I have time, unless somebody beats me to it.

Can you spin the condenser fan with your hand? Do you see any obvious shorts or damage to any wiring?

comment How should I connect conduit in the wall to conduit on the ceiling?
What size conduit? Is it a double top plate? Is there a specific reason the horizontal run is even with the top plate (not above or below)?

If you're not sure what's going on, you might want to contact a local licensed Electrician.

comment What should I check when troubleshooting a doorbell?
It's not likely you'll be able to repair a transformer, unless you have a coil winding machine. You should be able to find a replacement for ~$15.00 at your local big box home improvement store.

Can you attach something to the outside corner (across the opening, instead of inside the opening)?
