Websites well worth the visit

This site has tons of household and food recipes. BUT don't visit unless you have a firewall that will protect you from invasive cookies. Looks like someone sold their newsletter or message board and now have a big collection of information. We thank Leonie Edge for letting us know about this place.

This site is really easy to use and quick to open. They have online help from the Repair Guru. They feature all the shipping and parts guarantee you could possibly want. All the help you could want to fix your own appliance. They also have a free email newsletter. Well worth signing up for.

Lots of great information. I must go back and spend more time here since I just asked around about what antenna works best in a mobile home. Our television reception is lousy. I'll see if they have any suggestions.

Yes, I had a reply within hours. The fellow explained in his email that any antenna had to be outside the mobile home, either on a tower or attached to the roof. There is only one source of MH parts in our area and this is like a breath of fresh air.

If you are a mobile home appreciator, check out the Vintage Mobile Homes Section. Blast from the past? Yeah, but it doesn't seem it was all that long ago! See how to re-level your home and all kinds of repair kits.

Sign up for their free newsletter and take their survey about why you like and don't like your mobile home. That was fun. I signed up. But scroll down the page and see what questions to answer in what sections. I didn't want to start over so I put it all in one section.

Use the Ask an Expert on the tabs at the top of the opening page to fine an answer to a problem you may be having with your home. A wonderful site!

This page is on the Snuggle Fabric Softener Alternate Uses List. Some pretty interesting suggestions I've never seen before.

I sat for an hour looking through the topics and solutions to the problems; reading & learning. I didn't know that there was a self cleaning hot water heater available or how to flush one out! There is an extensive stain removal section, plumbing Q & A's, and lots more because that's as far as I got. Awesome!

This site offers a wealth of decorating ideas and strategy. If you have a question, you may ask their expert, a certified designer. They offer courses and books.

Just like it says, Do It Yourself. "Home Improvement How-To Info and Home Repair Tips" help answer basic questions... in Do It Yourself projects. Check out any Topic on the bottom of the page for step by step instructions and information. Visit the Hardware Store for over 50,000 household products.

This is the Projects page of the True Value website. There is a long list of maintenance help to choose from for both inside and outside the home, landscaping and interior decorating.

They have a Tip of the Day and a Tip of the Week, Decorating Tips, Tricks, FAQ's & Archives. They feature Decorating Made Easy, a color scheme Guide, ...for the decorator on a budget. This site is packed with super ideas.

This site will teach you and answer your questions about upholstery. They can also sell you the equipment you need to get started.

I learned real fast that Period means Victorian Period. This website sells products to create a wonderful rich style that is beautiful and elegant. Check out the Projects Gallery. At first I thought this was all grand entryway type ornate deco but look down the page to some of the bathroom projects. It's enough to give you some real good ideas!
