Spacesavers in the Laundry Room
I went to an estate sale and purchased two very rough bathroom spacesavers (you know the ones that go over the commode) they were only $5.00 for both and I thought if nothing else I could use them for shelving.

Removing Sulfur from a Well Water System
Our house is currently on a well system. We have sulfur in our water, which gives it a rotten egg smell. At this time, we have a system from Eco Water that uses food-grade hydrogen peroxide to reduce the sulfur in the water. This system was in the house when we bought it 3 plus years ago.

Diverting Water Going Through Yard
We live on a high hill and water is washing sand (in the woods) onto our driveway that winds down to the street (steep hill, steep driveway). We have one person think it is rainwater runoff and another saying it could possibly be an underground spring (which we know we have anyway).

Add Sheen Back To Vinyl Siding
For homes that have vinyl cladding that has lost it's lustre and looks tired: Wash down with warm soap and water then spray (cans) with tyre sheen or similar product. It's surprisingly cheap to do and it brings it back to life.

Hardware to Hang Wooden Curtain Rods
We have been given 2 beautiful wooden curtain rods, but that's it - no other hardware to secure it above the windows! Do any of you have ideas on a cradle of sorts to rest the rods in that would be secured to the wall?

Removing Creases from 'Crushed' Curtains
I bought brand new permanently crushed curtains. Why? One, they are gorgeous and two you never have to iron them! I do not iron. However, being packaged they have some lines in them. I tried wrinkle remover, no good. I tried hot steamy shower, no good.

Covering Ceiling Tiles With Fabric
I searched everywhere on the web to find a solution for the ugly drop ceiling panels on my ceiling when I decided to move our bedroom to the basement. Replacement panels in metal and wood are beautiful, but very costly.
