Household Hints

rock salt is an old standby but has been known to damage the concrete over time. I've been told that the salt used in water softeners does a good job and doesnt harm the concrete.

use lime scale destroyer which use water tech to remove the scale permanently as long as the device is used.The device will recondition the water solubility so that it will have ability to dissolve the lime scale(mineral, either calcium or magnesium) and prevent scale from forming again.

As long as it's flowing it won't freeze.There is a well seal that sit's just above the pitless adaptor.It has a two way vent built in to let air in & out.It also has holes for the wire.

The distance is not really important as extra piping and fittings can be used, but making sure you have a good gradient is of the utmost importance

A number of ways. They spread disease, Cockroaches and fleas and to major aggregate of asthma, fleas do still spread the bubonic plague, (it still exists), general sanitation, not to mention that termites cause 5 billion dollars in property damage in the US every year.

no, they have cardboard or plastic interiors that will be destroyed

You can find some good scholarships for college students on the following site: http://www.scholarships.com/. They have a long list.

First apply ice to the wax to get it to freeze. Scrape off as much of the wax as possible with a butter knife or other blunt instrument. Do this to both sides of the garment, then heat your iron to a low temperature. Set on "dry", do not steam. Place the garment on a flat surface with paper towels on both sides of the stain, and gently heat the garment with the iron. The paper toweling will absorb the warm wax. Do this a couple of times until the towels do not show a stain from the wax any more. Then dampen the stain, apply hand bar soap, and scrub. This should take any wax out of the item.

• In agriculture, as soils often contain acidic solutions and plants usually grow best when the soil is slightly alkaline.

• In medicine, as your blood has a pH of 7.3 and medicine injections must be exactly the same pH. If someone blood is changed by one pH they would die.

• In digestion, as the stomach is acidic, pH 1 or 2. If we wanted to neutralise the acidity we could swallow an alkaline substance such as sodium bicarbonate.

• To neutralise bee stings, as bee stings are acidic and can be neutralised using an alkali such as bicarbonate of soda, which would calm the irritation.

• To neutralise wasp stings, as wasp stings are alkaline and can be neutralised using an acid such as vinegar, which would calm the irritation.

• To neutralise waste from factories, as if this acidic solution is not treated and ends up in the river it could kill fish. Slaked lime is often used to neutralise the solution as it is an alkali.

Depends on the type and some work in more than one way. For example boric acid is a stomach poison most bugs ingest when they groom, however, dusts can also clog the spiracles (holes in abdomen they breathe through) or dry out their exoskeletons (dessicants) Organophosphates act on their nervous systems and eventually they freeze (are unable to move) and starve. Contact sprays are simply absorbed through their bodies in most cases. Some insects eat the droppings of adults are are poisoned from adults who ate and passed poison bait, killing more than one generation.

You can use a ladder to get up to them and clean them or there is a wand with a hook on the top shaped like the hook on a hanger that you attach to a garden hose and wash out the gutter.

Personally, I will recommend you to take help from a professional belonging to a good pest control company. But if you are still not interested in bees' elimination by a professional pest control exterminator then you have to either use smoke strategy or use organic sprays against the hive. As an organic spray, you can use vinegar and water mixture.

Most of the vinyl floors that are sold currently are called "No Wax Vinyl Floors" this means that the top coating is manufactured so that when you use the floor cleaner suggested it will look as it did when installed- the flooring industry..(like computers) are constantly changing and becoming more user friendly/easy care- Vinyl floors that are not called No wax- need to be stripped and cleaned- then liquid wax applied to give it that wet look-shiny- then normal household traffic will dull the floor- once again having to clean/strip and re-apply wax- to give it shine and slight protection- The manufactures suggestions- The no wax floors now just require a simple mop and no rinse solution- (like mop and glo)- but you should always follow the manufacturers suggestions for care and cleaning of your vinyl flooring- house hold cleaners that are bought at the grocery store like pine sol etc- will ruin the floor and yellow over time- Always use vinyl cleaning products from the manufacturers like Armstrong-Mannington and Congoleum-these types of cleaners will make the floor look great and will look good for a long time- vinly floors need to be cleaned/stripped and polish reapplied for beauty-

Yes, most lumber yards should have a source. Most hang from the top with just a center guide at the bottom

Call a bee keeper. Bees are not usually a pest but are valuable for continued preservation of the Earth's survival. Without them we will eventually starve. A bee keeper will capture the queen of the hive and take them to a more acceptable place to live. Extermination will likely do more damage to you than the bees and removal should only be done by someone who knows what they are doing. Bees are only a danger to any person who has an allergy to bee stings and will help your garden to thrive.

If garbage is not properly disposed of, then not only can it cause a clutter, it can be a health hazard. Garbage harbors parasites, disease carrying rats, among other things.

It is as the equivalent of a storage bin and a supply cabinet that a composter is used. The compost bin keeps compostable materials until proper aeration, heat, light, and moisture levels produce humus. The bin then serves as a supply cabinet from which compost is removed to add to soil or to serve as fertilizer or mulch.

Just walking.

Styrofoam actually generates a lot of static electricity which means it is a poor choice as a packing material for electronic components. Static sensitive components (hard drives, motherboards, computer cards, etc.) are usually enclosed in a static shielding bag.

Eight feet is standard in western houses.

Hi,

1375 meters is equates to 4511 feet. measure your brick. If its 12 inches = 1 ft, then you'll need 4511 bricks. Doing some research on conversions, looking online or picking up a calculator (that does conversions) will come in handy in all aspect of your life; including measuring out projects whether it be floor plans for an energy efficient small house, a deck, pouring concrete, you name it.
