Just a little tip for those that might not know this: When you're outside watering your garden/flowers/yard, make sure you use the pressure nozzle and clean your AC unit out there too! They build up gunk and dirt, which decreases air flow and causes the unit to run less efficiently. Wash it off...

There are kits you can get that are pretty inexpensive. Since you don't burn "real" wood, you'd think your chimney would be cleaner, but that's not necessarily the case. It's kinda like your stove: needs to get hot and stay hot to burn off the creosote and other materials that the burning fuel...

Another natural predator is the mosquito fish. BUT...don't introduce any type of predator to your pond if it's connected to any other waterway-creek or stream flowing from it? You don't want to indtroduce a non-indegenous predator in your environment, right? Also, don't overfeed the fish. If...

My Whirlpool dishwasher is starting to be more trouble that it's worth and I need to replace it. I've had it repaired several times. Guess it's time to let it go :P Any suggestions on what to get? I don't need a large capacity, but I DO want one that's quiet-this old one is so loud I can't hear...

Not only do they all have the same look, but they rule and regulate you to death. I was at my sister-in-law's house (she lives in one of these) and I saw some guy outside with a yardstick. I laughed and said, "what's he doing-measuring the grass?", cause that's what it looked like. She replied...
