31Plumbing Problems – Leaky And Frozen Pipes
Posted By: Scott Rodgers on July 31, 2009 at 3:23 amWe use pipes in our homes for so many things. Pipes bring up the potable water which is used for drinking, cleaning, washing. They also carry away the wastes etc. However, there can be times when they stop working. Below area few steps that one must follow in order to deal with leaky and frozen pipes.
The very first step to remember is: always turn the water supply off before you attempt to repair a leaky pipe.
Leaks are the most common plumbing issues faced at home and are sometimes very simple to fix. Simply re tightening the nut can solve this problem. However make sure that you do not over tight it as it can cause problems.
Sometimes your first efforts at fixing the leaking compression fitting won’t be successful, and you will have to try another approach. This time dismantle the fitting, and wrap some self amalgamating tape around the leak. Reassemble the fitting, and test again for drips. Hopefully, this time there won’t be any.
Use a blow lamp or a hair dryer for removing moisture from soldered joints after draining the pipe. Next put in some self cleaning flux into the dried pipe joint. You can then melt the flux by reheating the joint, and use the flux to seal the leaking joint. You can use a sealant such as epoxy resin, silicon paste etc. to temporarily stop the leak in a pipe.
In areas with very low temperatures, frozen pipes are a big problem. Use a portable heater or a light bulb to keep the water warm. This is the most convenient way to prevent freezing of pipes.
Sometimes, a steady small trickle of water is all it takes to prevent frozen pipes. The continuous movement of water can keep them from freezing. Let the water drip continuously throughout the night preferably from a faucet connected to a wall outside. Also, make sure that your water tank and pipes are insulated. Heat tape and fibre glass are good insulating materials.
If in case you are not able to deal with any kind of plumbing situation a t home, its time to call a expert plumber to get the issue fixed and make sure you get it fixed as soon as possible otherwise it can lead to serious problems later on.

314 Closet Organizers Tips You Can’t Live Without
Posted By: Ashleigh Oden on July 31, 2009 at 3:20 amIf you find yourself struggling to keep up with the mess in your closet, then you need a system for organizing your clothes, shoes, and other items. This is something anyone can do with an afternoon and a few dollars to spend on some simple tools. In 4 steps you can take a cluttered closet and morph it into a usable space for your clothes and shoes! Let’s take a look at these steps in a bit more details.
1. Removing clothing and other items that don’t get any use.
Do not skip this step! Go through all your closet items and remove what’s not been taken out in the last year. You can either sell it on line or donate it to a local thrift store, just get it out of there! It only should be in your closet if you use it.
2. Shoe racks are great.
A favorite of all closet organizer tools, the shoe rack is of utmost importance. This is more true for those of us who have an addiction to buying shoes. Go for the kind that hang from the closet rod or the closet door so you can leverage your space to get the most out of it.
3. Use a double closet rod.
Who couldn’t use more space to hang clothes? The doubling rod does just that. By hanging a shirts length below and from your existing closet rod, you can have a second rod up in just minutes. This is a great way to get extra space without spending a lot of money on any fancy organizer toys.
4. Grouping similar items together.
Now that you’ve removed upwards of half your clothes, gotten the shoes organized, and doubled the amount of hanging space, the final step is to logically sort what’s left. How do we do that? By simply groping like items together, such as putting all your summer dresses together, and then your dress pants, dress shirts, and so on. This will allow you to easily see what clothes you have in your closet and simply grab what you need and go.
If you’ve followed all the steps above, congratulations, you have a whole new closet to work with. It will be much easier finding what you want to wear now that you’ve thrown things out, gotten your shoes off the floor, installed a doubling rod, and then grouped together similar clothing for ease of access.
