At my fiance's grandma's house, whenever you turn the faucet's hot water (sometimes cold too) on in a glass, the water is cloudy like there is a bunch of bubbles in it. Eventually, it clears up after about 30 seconds, and there is a slight film along the top of the waterline on the glass... I tried getting a faucet mounted filter and it seems to help some, but i was wondering what the cloudiness is? It's not a very old house at all, because it was built less than 10 years ago.

Anyone have this problem? If so, what is it?

that if I have a problem it is with the internal wiring- for which they charge 100+ dollars if I request them to fix it. What can I do? I open up the outside box, but it seems to be connected to one of the 5 lines available for the house- what is the economic and easiest fix to this? Thanks to all answerers.

Just curious if anyone has any ideas. I've heard that white vinegar works, but not sure if there's any ground to this. Thanks.

Some of the tomatoes in my garden have black spots that cover the bottom of them. It looks like something has been eating them. Could this damage be caused by crickets? There are a lot of them in the garden. If so, how can I get rid of them in a non-chemical way? Also, the 'black hole' only occurs on the tomato plants that are not in cages (we have around 20 tomato plants and only 10 cages), thus, the vines are on the ground.
I live in Michigan, if that helps. Thanks for any and all advice!

We have a tiny back yard 4.5 metres x 5 metres, currently covered in concrete. I've been told to go for height in a small garden. We can dig up some of the concrete, but I'd prefer to have plants in pots and decking. Does anyone have suggestions for plants that make a big impact that won't die on me?

The back of the house faces East and the garden gets good light most of the day.

My husband and I own an acre in Wytheville, Virginia and need someone to cut it. It probably needs to be mowed by tractor or bush hog, as it is unusually tall. We moved away from the area, and need someone to cut it for us. Of course, you will be paid.
