Your Old House Moment

Do you have an old house ? Are you remodeling your kitchen? Are you worried about having enough water in your future?

Here are 2 ideas you can do to help, both from thisoldhouse.com/shortcuts. This site has many ideas for assisting you in maintaining your home.

First, the best way to conserve water is to collect the water which runs off the roof of your house during a rain storm. There are several ways to do this and if you go to the site you will discover some ways. If your house is 2,000 square feet you can save 55,000 gallons of water, which will water your lawn, the flowers and your veggie garden (which I hope you have, to help your food budget and give you some great organic food).

Next, if you have old hardware and are planning to redo your kitchen cupboards, here is the way to take the hard work and elbow grease out of cleaning them. Simply drag your crockpot out and fill it with water and 2 tbsps of laundry detergent, turn it on low and let it cook all night.
