I see commercials all the time for companies that sell water softening systems. Down here in Florida, one of the big companies is Southern Water. I've been slightly interested in this and have wondered how much they are, but dont really have time or any interest in a sales person coming to my home. I just want to know if its something I can afford or not. I'm sure its a monthly fee along with a one time installation charge, but I dont even know where to begin guessing. Can anyone tell me how much it costs to install these things and what kind of monthly costs are involved? Anyone that have one? Or even just a best estimate? Thanks.

The water pulses out of the ground constantly worse when it rains.In my backyard I can dig down about 3ft in certain areas and find water. I live on the side of a small hill in the suburbs with a small creek at the bottom 100mt away. Im 6 to 800mt above sea level. Its not my water supply. Water tests show nitrates ammonium ph 5.6 & slight traces of fluoride. No one can tell me where this water is coming from or who can.

Hi, I have just bought roses and I needed the flowers (I have 14 Stems all together). I got a pack of nutrients with the roses, My question is if I put the flowerless stem in the water, Will the rose bud, there are still leaves on the stem. If not what should I have done so I could get the roses and still have the roses growing. I put the stems under light and in water with the nutrients.

The grill is about two years old and has been working well until just recently. Gas is clearly coming out the vent in the regulator, which obviously prevents me from lighting the grill. Can I just replace the vent or is there an easy-but-not-obvious-to-me solution?

I want to build a simple outdoor picnic table and use pine (mostly 2x4) for construction because it is inexpensive. I plan to set it on my backyard lawn, so it will be exposed to moisture and sunlight. Question is, if I stain & protect it, will it last just as long as other higher quality woods like redwood and cedar? Thanks.

I have a mattress and on top of the mattress I have a featherbed and one of those foam things. I have a mattress cover that goes over all that and then I have my fitted sheet and blanket etc. My featherbed and foam thing keeps sliding off to one side. How do I keep it from doing that? I've used safety pins, the sheet garter things, and buying new sheets, I don't know what else to do. Anyone ever had this problem or know of any solutions? Thanks!

Planted one last Christmas for the first time and just left it on the windowsill all year. Noticed that a tiny green shoot was growing last week so watered it a bit and now it's grown to about 4 inches!
Is it going to flower though, my Mum says sometimes they only flower once.

They always come about November. My mother in law gets them bad, they line the window seals, the light fixtures, they fall in your drink, pop you in the head. It's like a bad movie. The exterminator said they can't spray, because they are endangered.

My great uncle stays with us on some weekends and he doesn't turn ANYTHING off. He leaves the restroom light and fan on, the television on, and any lights he may use around the house constantly. When he goes to the kitchen to make a sandwich he leaves the refrigerator door wide open while he does it. He refuses to turn the coffee pot off if there's coffee left because he "may want some hot coffee later," but this scalds the coffee and makes my house REAK! He hasn't been here 24 hours and he's already driving me crazy!

I've tried inconspicuously following him around and turning off the lights, tv, and shutting the refrigerator, and I've tried being obvious about it.

I've even gently said something to him about turning off the lights and tv because it's wasting electricity and electricity is expensive. His reply to that was: "It's more expensive to have to turn them on because of the power surge they require to get started." All I could do was stare at him.

I moved into my apartment about a month ago and for the last few days i have been seeing roaches in my kitchen!!!
I am a clean person...Never leave food out, take trash out everyday...
I have tried the roach baits but they seem to not be working....
I have called my landlord and asked for my apartment to be sprayed but surprise...they have not came yet.
Is there anything i can get to make them die!!! and stay away?

Is it safe for my budgies?Is it safe enough to sleep with closed windows at night? I am afraid to go to sleep and never wake up again from carbon monoxide poisoning, as well as my budgies/parakeets, as I was once close to dying due to that, but my utility gas and electric company recommends to close any windows or doors to conserve heat and energy inside your home during winter. I am paranoid to sleep with closed windows if I have a heater on, unless I want to sleep and freeze at night. Please advice. My heater is very good at warming up the room (BIONAIRE Model BH3950)
