I bought a few Henckels Pro-S knives a year ago and I think they are starting to lose their edge. Are there stores that will do this or should I buy some tools, like a whetstone, and do it myself? I am a little hesitant to do it myself, because I fear I will ruin them and have to buy new ones.

Regarding the Tax Energy Efficiency Act of 2005, where I can get a tax credit for installing efficnecy items in my home. I recently installed a new natural gas hot-water tank. I understand to get the tax credit the Energy Factor must be 0.80. I can't find anything on the Energy
Efficiency Label on the tank that has the Energy
efficiency number. How can I find this.

Also, the tank was covered under my home owners appliance insurance that I paid $350.00 for, and I also had to pay a $100.00 deductible. How much can I claim. I have searched the internet and I can't find answers to these questions.

I wash, rewash, have even tried baking soda. I don't know what else to try. It is mainly the towels and dishrags, they have a mildewy smell. How do I get rid of it?

Designer? Carpenter? I like them all and have no favorite. But I love Trading Spaces, with or without Paige. I love Laurie and Genevieve, and I love Amy Winn and Carter. (I wasn't certain if this would be under Decorating and Remodeling or Garden and Landscape or both.)

I bought a 5 thread ind. sewing machine, but have no manual. Does anyone have a diagram on how to thread this? It only shows 2 things to be threaded, but doesn't help with the rest of it. Thanks!

I filed a chapter 13 in 2004, and it will be paid off in January of 2008. The only collateral that is in the bankruptcy is my new car. Other than that payment, I don't owe or have any other debt. I am an LVN working on my RN, and I pay that as I go so that I won't have any debt when I graduate.
