I just had some old galvanized pipes replaced with copper ones. But now, every time I turn the faucet on, the first water that comes out is brown....within a second or so, it turns clear. Is this something that just happens for awhile with new copper pipes, or does this sound abnormal?

I asked about a leak in my roof...I do not have the money till next year so...The house was built in 1915.. First it has old shingles on the first layer..I Think made out of wood...then it has 4 layers of the newer type shingles..25 years old plus. I do not know when.. the roofer guy said when he would walk on them they would just disinergrate at his feet...I am trying to put a patch on the chimmney side till next year cuz he said it needs a complete tear off..Costing about 15,000..It needs to have a plywood base..I understand that...I canot get up there to chalk it,,It is a chicago style house.. with houses on both sides 3 feet apart..You need to come from the front ..Just to get on the house..I need a patch way from the attic till next spring..Somebody said to use the window expanding stuff..It sounds good so far..But I am still open...This has been looked at by more than 5 persons in the roofing Bus...I will fix it but I need suggestions till next year..GOD BLESS

We are remodelling our kitchen and want an inexpensive but trendy solution. The house was built in 1920 so we want to maintain that feel but still modern. Suggestions, tips, problems with butcher block?

By hand or by dishwasher? Or by someone else's hand? i.e. making your kids do it?
I did dishes by hand for 24 years and it never bothered me in the least. Then something happend. I just couldn't do it anymore so I got a dishwasher. It's an old one but it gets the job done.

Kids Halloween party is over..... some of the kids found a permanent black marker and had a ball with it. These are 3 to 5 year olds so the markings are all over the house.

How do I remove permanent black marker from a wooden surface without damaging the wood? ( antique walnut ) Also, refrigerator, wall paper, plastic air purifier and just about every surface!!!
I have tried fingernail polish remover on the refrigerator, it only dims the color. De-natured alcohol does no better. Is there some product that will remove the marks off several surfaces?
