Homemade Drain Cleaner

Baking Soda and Vinegar. Pour 1/2 cup baking soda down the drain. Add 1/2
cup white vinegar and cover the drain if possible. Let set for a few
minutes, then pour a kettle of boiling water down the drain to flush it. The
combination of baking soda and vinegar can break down fatty acids into soap
and glycerin, allowing the clog to wash down the drain. DO NOT USE THIS
METHOD AFTER ANY COMMERCIAL DRAIN OPENER HAS BEEN USED OR IS STILL PRESENT
IN THE STANDING WATER.

25 THINGS ABOUT TO BECOME EXTINCT IN AMERICA

25.
Pit Toilets
By the 2000 Census, the number of Americans who lacked indoor plumbing was down to 0.6%. Even though that's still an awful lot of Americans using an outhouse or pit toilet -- 670,000 households or 1.3 million people -- it's a huge improvement from 1950 when 27% of households (and over half of rural households) didn't have complete indoor plumbing.

Energy Savings...The Little Things

I assume you've done all the "big things" to save heating dollars at your house, like 12-14" of blown attic insulation and storm or new vinyl windows.  If so, you're probably realizing 30% to 50% savings--if your house is older than about 15 years old and you'd done nothing.
These latest natural gas price hikes beg for some additional savings.  This list, as I said on the air, is the Top 15 list of marginal energy savers which, taken in the aggregate, could save another 10-20 % of that ever-increasing utility bill of yours.  If you have some others, please go back to the Home Page and e-mail them to me
Thanks for listening, Ken Moon
