Home & Garden - 12 November 2006

I have basically no water except for a trickle. Is there any way I can test my pressure tank to see if it is working properly before I replace it. I have replaced pressure switch and submersible pump this year. Pressure tank is about 20 years old and I have never had any trouble out of it. It appears to have about 50 lbs. of pressure when checked with new tire gauge. Is there any way to see if it is working before I replace it? Please help.

I had to repair an outside faucet and removing 5 bricks was required. When I replaced the bricks, the new mortar dried leaving a powdery stain on the bricks. I fluhed the bricks with water and used a scrub brush but the stain came back when it dried. Muric Acid was suggested to clean this stain and I'm curious as to how this works. Does the Muric Acid attack the dried concrete dust more than the bricks ? I've used Muric Acid on driveways but I've never used it on bricks.

I live in an apartment so though I could paint I'm not going to so my walls are white and my carpet is light, the couches that I've found that I like so far are light green, light tan, and a little bit darker tan but I'm open to other colors so feel free to give your input!!

We turn our furnace to 50 at night and then it runs for a very long time to warm up to 65 when we get up. Would it be better to just set it at 60 and leave it there all the time?

So far, I have tried Mr. Clean and something called Aquascrub, both with limited success. Obviously, it will be best to use a sponge or soft cloth on the glass surface rather than a scouring pad!

I always leave fuel in fuel tank with stabilizer during the winter for the motorcycle, because the moisture will cause rust. But the owner's manual of the lawn tractor says drain it out. I'm confused. Please help!
