Quickly Find Your Basic Utility Valves

Do all of the adults in your home know how to immediately locate and shut off the gas, electricity, and water in case of an emergency? If not, you could be in serious trouble. Share these utility shut-off procedures with everyone in your household to help prevent property damage or personal injury.

Shutting Off the Gas
Gas leaks can be life-threatening, so it's important to act fast. If you smell gas, hear hissing or suspect a leak for any reason, open a window and quickly get your family to safety. Call for help and, if possible, disrupt the gas supply using the outside valve. Procedures vary, so contact your gas company ahead of time for meter-specific guidance. Remember, once the valve has been closed, it should only be reopened by a qualified professional.

Cutting Off the Electricity
Before making household repairs, stop the flow of electricity by accessing your home's circuit breaker or fuse box. To locate the panel, look for a gray metal box, typically concealed in a garage, laundry room or closet. Identify the main circuit breaker if you need to power down the whole house or use branch circuits to de-energize individual appliances.

Turning Off the Water
In the event of a broken pipe or full-blown disaster scenario, find the main shut-off valve. In cold-weather climates, the water shut-off is usually placed in a basement or front closet. You can also check the outer perimeter of your home for a hose bibb faucet or meter box. To repair minor leaks to a toilet or sink, cut the water at the source.

While you can't prepare for every possible emergency situation, learning these key utility shut-offs is an easy way to keep your home and family safer.

Have you heard of this before?

How to Clean Your Dishwasher with Tang
Empty the dishwasher.
Run the water in the kitchen faucet until it is hot. (He suggests you do that before running your dishwasher every time.)
Turn the tap off and start the empty dishwasher.
After two or three minutes, stop the dishwasher and add a container of Tang.
Let it run the whole cycle.

I tried it, and it worked! No more gunk on the dishes, and best of all–no more film of grit on the bottom of the glasses.

With the next few days of winter coming our way, here is an easy to do fix if your window gets frosted over.
Mix up some of this inexpensive, hard-working windshield cleaner and de-icer spray. The simple two-ingredient spray will make short work of your windshield woes and get you on the road in no time
Also works on frozen door locks

MATERIALS AND TOOLS
- Spray bottle
- 91% isopropyl rubbing alcohol
- Liquid dish hand-washing detergent (optional)
- Water
- Permanent marker
- Windshield ice scraper

STEP 1
Fill a spray bottle with two parts rubbing alcohol to one part of water. Add ½ teaspoon of liquid dish detergent for every 2 cups. Shake well. Label it as de-icer spray with your marker.

STEP 2
Generously spray the mixture onto an iced-over windshield. Spritz a bit on your door locks too, to free them of ice. Wait just a minute or so as it softens the ice, or melts it altogether.

STEP 3
For extra-heavy ice on windows, you may need to do a little scraping. If so, grab your scraper to clear away the thicker patches

STEP 4
Turn your windshield wipers on and with a couple good swishes, your windshield should be de-iced, clean, clear, and ready for some driving!

Take any nail polish, apply two coats, and you're done. That's how easy this DIY project is. Remove with nail polish remover, and you can start all over with new colors. It's definitely cheaper than buying key covers for all of the members of your household and much easier to personalize.

Knee-Saving Watering Technique
To make tree watering easier, hang a funnel from a tree branch with a loop of clothes hanger. Then slip a plastic tube over the end of the funnel and run the tube along the trunk and into the water reservoir. To prevent overfilling, have one of the kids watch the water level or put a finger in the reservoir and tell you when it's full.
