I'm hoping someone can offer either advice on how to handle hard water in our home or shed some light on a good place to go first for help. We moved into our new home about 2 years ago now. We didn't notice it at first, but now we are seeing buildup around our faucets, our dishes come out of the washer with hardwater stains, and even our dogs water bowl is showing rings that are proving impossible to clean!!

Can anyone else relate to this problem and maybe give suggestions on what to do? Does a water softener help this? Does hard water pose any health issues?

Thanks for your help!

My sons spilled a container of gasoline (for cars) in the hallway of my house. I cleaned it with dish soap and water, and threw out the rug, but the smell is overpowering even after 3 days.What can I do to get rid of this, or what can I use that will make it better.

The dial moves all the way through the normal wash cycle but when the pointer reaches the final spin cycle, the dial stays on spin and never moves to the off position. Any advice on how to fix the problem would be great!!! Thanks!

We were just hit with another huge LP bill. Has anyone removed their propane and replaced it with electrical. We have oil heat, and LP for the hot water, dryer and cooking. But $150 a month to heat water and dry clothes, we only cook on the weekend, seems outrageous! I was also wondering if oil burning water heaters were available. If so, we may just go with electric appliances and change the water heater to oil.

Thanks.

I've had this cooler for 2 years and haven't cleaned through the system. I've surface cleaned it obviously but not inside inside. I heard you can run bleach through it to clean it but am hesitant towards doing that. Any ideas?

Just bought a house that has a above ground swimming pool. I know nothing about the upkeep, cleaning and basic maintenance of swimming pools. Are there any good web sites, books, or suggestions to get me started in the right direction?

We have a few outlets in our house that wont work, the one in the garage that controls the garage door opener, one in the bathroom, one on 1 wall in our living room that goes out now and again. we also have a light switch that burns bulbs as soon as we replace them.
I have switched all the fuses off, then on again, it has not solved the problem...I am guessing we have a short somewere, what is your opion?

The electric ignitor is out AGAIN, this would make it the 2nd time it has done this, what would cause the ingnitor to go out? the furnace is blowing not cold air, but not hot air. since the furnace is electric, no gas is coming out, it is just blowing normal air, not heated, like i said before this has happend before.
why would it go out again?!?!

My kitchen has a fluorescent light fixture in the ceiling (the circular 2-ring kind). It sometimes takes as long as 2 hours to actually turn on after I flip the switch. Does this indicate that the bulb is bad and/or dying, or is there another suggestion as to what is wrong?
Thanks

The scratches are not deep and do not interfer wth cooking. They are only on one eye, and are minimal. However, I would like to repair them so the entire surface is smooth. They are small and again not deep, just enough to catch the eye.

We have a varnished pine blanket box that has a few spots of varnish missing due to an accident with drips of nail polish remover. Is it possible to just re-varnish those areas or will we have to get the whole top redone?

I don't understand why everyone wouldn't use this if it is so reliable and runs indefinitely without electric power? Does anyone have one and tried it? Is it really as quiet as it adverises ( supposedly "silent")
