Home & Garden - 28 January 2007

I heard the sound of water hitting the floor. The clothes washer was overflowing. I opened it and it was full of water. I turned it off and unplugged. But water was still leaking from somewhere. The bottom. For the next couple hours i had a pot under the washer as all the water slowly drained out of a little hose the was just under the front. Its empty now. Ima assuming the hose is supposed to be connected somewhere but I cant see it! I'll keep tryin'. *sheesh*

First off, what is the price comparison for a chain link fence and a privacy fence? What are some average prices for both? Would you recommend one of those two, or is there another type of fence you prefer? Is it cruel to puppies to not have a fence where they can look out?

I have a small welder that will run steel and aluminum. If at all possible I would like to get just 1 type of gas for both so I can easily switch back and forth. Problem is the ideal gas for steel is C25, and aluminum has to be welded with a totally inert shielding gas. So I was wondering if pure argon would work for steel, or am I going to have to just wait until I have more money and just not weld aluminum right now.

I was wondering. I'm looking into a lawncare business, but we're just starting out. What are some basic services we could perform that do not take a lot of training? We're hoping to kind of learn along the way with the bigger stuff such as landscaping design. Right now we would like to start slow but offer more than just mowing grass. Thank you in advance.

Alright, so I'm a cheap student, and it occurs to me that I could probably save a lot of money on laundry by just using 1-2 drops of hand dishwashing fluid per load [NOT machine stuff, I mean Palmolive/Dawn/etc.]
If I pre-dilute it with water, do you think this will work? Will the washing machine be able to rinse out the soap by the end of the cycle?
Any other cheap alternatives you can think of to laundry detergent?

In other words, is outside air brought into the air conditioner, cooled, and then blown into your house, or is it air that's already in the house, and cooled from that?

I ask because, if it is the second option, it wouldn't seem that you could get any fresh air that way.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Certain bed sheets end up smelling 'waxy' or have a funny odor -- even when they are freshly washed -- even when using liquid fabric softener. Is there a way to remove the odor? I typically wash my light colored sheets in hot water and the darks in cold or warm using liquid All free and clear and then use Snuggle in the rinse cycle. Not all bed sheets end up with the odor -- just certain sets.
